CountsDiff: A Diffusion Model on the Natural Numbers for Generation and Imputation of Count-Based Data

arXiv:2604. 03779v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion models have excelled at generative tasks for both continuous and token-based domains, but their application to discrete ordinal data remains underdeveloped.

Learning What Not to Impute: An Uncertainty-Aware Diffusion Framework for Meaningful Missingness

Missing value imputation is a fundamental task in machine learning, with most existing methods assuming that all missing entries correspond to unobserved regular values. In many real-world datasets, however, missingness may arise from two distinct sources: some entries are meaningfully missing (intrinsically absent and semantically valid), while others are missing due to the observation process and should be imputed.

One Pipeline, Many Transformers: Pattern-Specific Imputation Specialists for Tabular Missing Data

arXiv:2510. 02625v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Missing data in tabular datasets forces practitioners into a hard choice: deploy a general-purpose imputer that may perform poorly for the problem at hand, or wait for someone to design a specialized algorithm.

Attention-Discounted Adaptive Sampler for Masked Diffusion Language Models

arXiv:2606. 10829v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Masked diffusion language models can reduce inference steps by revealing multiple tokens per denoising iteration, but this parallelism is fragile: positions that are individually confident may be unsafe to commit together when their predictions are coupled.
