Representation-Space MMD for Diffusion Language Models

Ilya Drobyshevskiy, Ilia Sudakov, Maksim Semenov +7

We introduce a post-training method for diffusion language models (DLMs) that minimizes Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) between generated and reference distributions in the feature…

Alpha Diffusion Language Models: Factorization Alone Is Not the Problem

Nikita Gushchin, Dmitry Baranchuk, Alexander Korotin

Discrete diffusion language models can generate multiple tokens in parallel, but reducing the number of denoising steps can lead to inconsistent predictions. Standard cross-entropy…

Midpoint Generative Models

Daniil Shlenskii, Nikita Gushchin, Lev Novitskiy +2

We introduce Midpoint Generative Models (MGM), a principled framework for training one-step generative models. MGM is based on a simple symmetry of Flow Matching with linear interp…

How to Train Your Latent Diffusion Language Model Jointly With the Latent Space

Viacheslav Meshchaninov, Alexander Shabalin, Egor Chimbulatov +4

Latent diffusion models offer an attractive alternative to discrete diffusion for non-autoregressive text generation by operating on continuous text representations and denoising e…

IDLM: Inverse-distilled Diffusion Language Models

David Li, Nikita Gushchin, Dmitry Abulkhanov +4

Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) have recently achieved strong results in text generation. However, their multi-step sampling leads to slow inference, limiting practical use. To ad…

Time-Correlated Video Bridge Matching

Viacheslav Vasilev, Arseny Ivanov, Nikita Gushchin +2

Bridge Matching (BM) learns a stochastic transport between two data distributions and is therefore a natural tool for data-to-data tasks such as video frame interpolation, image-to…

Universal Inverse Distillation for Matching Models with Real-Data Supervision (No GANs)

Nikita Kornilov, David Li, Tikhon Mavrin +5

While achieving exceptional generative quality, modern diffusion, flow, and other matching models suffer from slow inference, as they require many steps of iterative generation. Re…
