Inference-Time Search Using Side Information for Diffusion-Based Image Reconstruction

Mahdi Farahbakhsh, Vishnu Teja Kunde, Dileep Kalathil +2

Diffusion models have been used as priors for solving inverse problems. However, existing approaches typically overlook side information that could significantly improve reconstruc…

Reinforcement Learning for Diffusion LLMs with Entropy-Guided Step Selection and Stepwise Advantages

Vishnu Teja Kunde, Fatemeh Doudi, Mahdi Farahbakhsh +3

Reinforcement learning (RL) has been effective for post-training autoregressive (AR) language models, but extending these methods to diffusion language models (DLMs) is challenging…

Real-Time Text Transmission via LLM-Based Entropy Coding over Fixed-Rate Channels

Vishnu Teja Kunde, Jean-Francois Chamberland, Krishna R. Narayanan +1

Learning, prediction, and compression are intimately connected: a model that accurately predicts the next symbol in a sequence can be coupled with a source coder to compress that s…

Complex Approximate Message Passing with Non-separable Denoising

Vishnu Teja Kunde, Alessandro Mirri, Jean-Francois Chamberland +1

Approximate Message Passing (AMP) is a general framework for iterative algorithms, originally developed for compressed sensing and later extended to a wide range of high-dimensiona…

Reed--Muller Codes Achieve the Symmetric Capacity on Finite-State Channels

Henry D. Pfister, Navin Kashyap, Jean-Francois Chamberland +1

We study reliable communication over finite-state channels (FSCs) using Reed--Muller (RM) codes. Building on recent symmetry-based analyses for memoryless channels, we show that a…

Bipartite matching under communication constraints

Moonmoon Mohanty, Gautham Bolar, Preetam Patil +3

In modern data center networks, thousands of hosts contend for shared link capacity; the scale of these systems makes centralized scheduling impractical. This article models such s…
