Is Your Diffusion Sampler Actually Correct? A Sampler-Centric Evaluation of Discrete Diffusion Language Models
Luhan Tang, Longxuan Yu, Shaorong Zhang +1
Discrete diffusion language models (dLLMs) provide a fast and flexible alternative to autoregressive models (ARMs) via iterative denoising with parallel updates. However, their eva…

Generation Order and Parallel Decoding in Masked Diffusion Models: An Information-Theoretic Perspective
Shaorong Zhang, Longxuan Yu, Rob Brekelmans +3
Masked Diffusion Models (MDMs) significantly accelerate inference by trading off sequential determinism. However, the theoretical mechanisms governing generation order and the risk…
