arXiv:2508. 07048v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Autoregressive (AR) encoder-decoder models dominate high-quality multilingual ASR, but their left-to-right decoders make inference latency scale with transcript length.
Visual Information-Guided Parallel Decoding for Diffusion Multimodal Large Language Models introduces the VIG‑Sampler, a method that prioritizes tokens for decoding based on their attention to image tokens and penalizes redundancy in image‑attention distributions. The approach aims to improve the quality of multimodal generation by selecting more informative tokens during diffusion decoding. Experiments on seven captioning and VQA benchmarks with three open‑source dMLLMs show that VIG‑Sampler outperforms the Info‑Gain Sampler by an average of 19.3 CIDEr points and achieves better COCO Caption results using only half as many decoding steps.

The paper introduces a survival-guided length control method for diffusion language models (DLMs), framing length selection as a discrete-time survival problem over the end-of-sequence token. This training‑free, plug‑in length predictor can be added to any existing DLM and reduces unnecessary denoising steps. Experiments on reasoning and code‑generation benchmarks show up to a seven‑fold speedup in inference while maintaining task accuracy, and reveal that predicted lengths vary significantly even within the same dataset, affecting model performance.

The paper introduces PACE, a Pareto‑adaptive compression framework designed for native multimodal large language models (MLLMs) that directly tokenize pixel patches without external vision encoders. By analyzing token discriminability and heterogeneous redundancy across spatial dimensions, PACE decomposes attention into height‑ and width‑specific saliency maps and applies a Pareto‑optimization strategy to allocate token budgets, achieving near‑lossless performance with only 25‑50% of visual tokens and more than 2× FLOP savings. Experiments demonstrate that PACE not only preserves but sometimes improves benchmark results compared to existing ViT‑based compression methods.
