arXiv:2604. 26985v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Masked diffusion models (MDMs) generate discrete sequences by iterative denoising under an absorbing masking process.
arXiv:2602. 11590v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Masked diffusion models (MDMs) have emerged as a promising alternative to autoregressive models, enabling parallel token generation while achieving competitive performance.
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:2607. 19686v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Masked diffusion models (MDMs) are a promising family of language generators, but achieving high-quality few-step generation remains challenging.
arXiv:2601. 08379v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pre-trained diffusion models have emerged as powerful generative priors for both unconditional and conditional sample generation, yet their outputs often deviate from the characteristics of user-specific target data.
arXiv:2602. 10314v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Masked Diffusion Models (MDMs) have emerged as a promising approach for generative modeling in discrete spaces.
arXiv:2606. 06712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We study the transformation of autoregressive models (ARLMs) into diffusion language models (DLMs).
arXiv:2603. 02230v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-correction is an effective technique for maintaining parallel sampling in discrete diffusion models with minimal performance degradation.
arXiv:2608. 15694v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conditional image-to-image generators are single-shot: they map input features to an output in one forward pass and treat it as final, with no opportunity to improve on it.
arXiv:2605. 26436v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Discrete masked diffusion language models such as LLaDA generate text through iterative denoising, where mask tokens are progressively replaced with predicted tokens.
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.
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.
arXiv:2607. 25157v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Discrete masked diffusion language models support bidirectional generation and infilling, but adapting pretrained autoregressive (AR) transformers requires reconciling causal pretraining with bidirectional denoising.
