The paper introduces Representation-based Masked Diffusion Model (RMDM), a new framework for language modeling that improves upon existing Masked Diffusion Models by incorporating global semantic guidance. RMDM encodes text into a continuous semantic space with a pretrained encoder, normalizes this representation to a Gaussian prior via an invertible transformation, and then trains a masked diffusion model conditioned on this latent representation to coordinate parallel token updates. Experiments show that RMDM yields higher generation quality, especially when using aggressive few‑step sampling.

Recent advances in diffusion models have shown impressive performance in controllable image generation and dense prediction tasks. However, existing approaches typically treat diffusion-based controllable generation and dense prediction as separate tasks, overlooking the potential benefits of jointly modeling the heterogeneous distributions.
