Generalized Discrete Diffusion from Snapshots

Oussama Zekri, Théo Uscidda, Nicolas Boullé +1

We introduce Generalized Discrete Diffusion from Snapshots (GDDS), a unified framework for discrete diffusion modeling that supports arbitrary noising processes over large discrete…

Fine-Tuning Discrete Diffusion Models with Policy Gradient Methods

Oussama Zekri, Nicolas Boullé

Discrete diffusion models have recently gained significant attention due to their ability to process complex discrete structures for language modeling. However, fine-tuning these m…

Large Language Models as Markov Chains

Oussama Zekri, Ambroise Odonnat, Abdelhakim Benechehab +3

Large language models (LLMs) are remarkably efficient across a wide range of natural language processing tasks and well beyond them. However, a comprehensive theoretical analysis o…

Can LLMs predict the convergence of Stochastic Gradient Descent?

Oussama Zekri, Abdelhakim Benechehab, Ievgen Redko

Large-language models are notoriously famous for their impressive performance across a wide range of tasks. One surprising example of such impressive performance is a recently iden…
