arXiv:2607. 10951v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce Sticky Jump Diffusions (SJDs), continuous-time Markov processes on $\mathbb R^d$ whose discrete anchors are token embeddings.

arXiv:2607. 05381v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: What does a discrete diffusion model learn: a denoiser, a score ratio, or a bridge plug-in predictor?

arXiv:2607. 24507v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing methods mainly adapt pretrained autoregressive (AR) language models to masked diffusion, whereas we directly adapt them to uniform-noise diffusion, where every token remains editable during sampling.

arXiv:2606. 02232v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning a Markov transition model is not merely conditional density estimation: the learned object must be a valid transition kernel before it is iterated in downstream dynamics.

arXiv:2604. 26985v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Masked diffusion models (MDMs) generate discrete sequences by iterative denoising under an absorbing masking process.

arXiv:2606. 24000v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce cyclic denoising -- repeated forward and reverse diffusion at controlled noise amplitudes -- as an extraction attack for image diffusion models.

Continuous-time generative frameworks construct probability paths between base and target domains by optimizing time-dependent velocity fields. While theoretical targets favor straight trajectories, empirical networks develop complex path deformations.
arXiv:2512. 02657v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Real-world deployment of text-to-image diffusion models requires continual concept removal as new privacy, copyright, or safety obligations arise over time.

arXiv:2603. 17353v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The finite symmetric group S_n provides a natural domain for permutations, yet learning probability distributions on S_n is challenging due to its factorially growing size and discrete, non-Euclidean structure.

Score Entropy Discrete Diffusion (SEDD) parameterizes discrete reverse processes with unconstrained positive score ratios. While positivity guarantees nonnegative reverse jump rates, it does not ensure Bayes realizability: ratios at a noisy state need not be jointly induced by any clean-token posterior under the forward kernel.
