Provably adaptive sampling with uniform and remasking discrete diffusion models

The paper proves that for discrete diffusion models using uniform or remasking forward processes, an adaptive sampler based on a leave‑one‑out denoiser can achieve sampling error proportional to the score‑estimation error plus a small tolerance. The required number of discretization steps scales with the dual total correlation of the target distribution, not directly with the ambient dimension. This result shows that sampling complexity is governed by the intrinsic dependence structure of the distribution, and the authors provide an information‑theoretic analysis linking discretization error to mutual information between coordinates.
