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.

arXiv:2602. 11453v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In information retrieval (IR), learning-to-rank (LTR) methods have traditionally limited themselves to discriminative machine learning approaches that model the probability of the document being relevant to the query given some feature representation of the query-document pair.
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:2606. 00295v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Masked diffusion models have seen great success in capturing data distributions over discrete sequences in domains such as text and proteins.
We introduce Sticky Jump Diffusions (SJDs), continuous-time Markov processes on $\mathbb R^d$ whose discrete anchors are token embeddings. In forward time, anchors release their mass at a hazard rate and the released mass diffuses in the continuous ambient space; time reversal couples a score-driven SDE with a sticky jump kernel whose rate and destination are fixed by flux balance with the forward law.
The paper introduces SPD (Single Forward Pass), a decoding strategy that efficiently produces ranked lists from large language models by emitting only the ordinal positions of items. SPD extracts an item‑position score matrix from the model’s hidden states, then solves a bipartite assignment problem via the Hungarian algorithm to generate a valid permutation in a single forward pass. Experiments show that LoRA‑based fine‑tuning combined with autoregressive ranking distillation achieves 28 ms end‑to‑end inference, a 64× speed‑up while preserving ranking quality.
arXiv:2606. 03212v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-rank tensor decomposition (TD) is usually effective on clean, fully observed data, but it often degrades under severe missingness or noise.

arXiv:2605. 00161v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion language models (DLMs) are an attractive alternative to autoregressive models because they promise sublinear-time, parallel generation, yet practical gains remain elusive as high-quality samples still demand hundreds of refinement steps.
Discrete Diffusion Models (DDMs) have recently been introduced to recommendation systems, modeling user history as a token generation process via iterative denoising. However, while effective at captu...
arXiv:2607. 01170v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative reasoning re-rankers achieve strong recommendation accuracy by emitting a chain-of-thought before re-ordering a candidate list, but they are slow at inference: an autoregressive (AR) decoder spends one sequential forward pass per reasoning token, and the reasoning trace far exceeds the ranking it produces.
