Score entropy loss enables discrete diffusion models (SEDD) that cut perplexity 25-75% versus prior diffusion methods and outperform GPT-2 on language modeling while supporting infilling and compute-quality tradeoffs.
Promptbreeder evolves both task prompts and the mutation prompts that improve them using LLMs, outperforming Chain-of-Thought and Plan-and-Solve on arithmetic and commonsense reasoning benchmarks.
Set diffusion factorizes likelihood over arbitrary token sets and uses a set-causal diffusion architecture to support KV caching and any-order decoding, yielding improved speed-quality tradeoffs versus prior diffusion LMs.
Self-conditioned flow language models solve fixed-point iterations, enabling fixed-point flow maps that distill into FMLM* which outperforms SOTA in few-step generation on OpenWebText.
Low Gen-PPL in continuous diffusion LMs results from repetition caused by a 1D contractive attractor in self-conditioning feedback; ACE subtracts the direction to reduce repetition to human levels while preserving quality.
Flow models reach 99.2% Sudoku accuracy in 7 passes and 96.1% on out-of-distribution Sudoku-Extreme by selecting dynamically stable candidates and training with self-conditioning plus DPO to avoid failed outputs.
MLFMs combine masking with continuous flows to scale flow-based language models to reasoning and instruction-following tasks on GSM8K and MT-Bench.
Introduces architecture distributions for stochastic segmentation by sampling discrete architectures from a learned distribution, trained via set-level IoU-based supervision and evolutionary candidate bank construction, claiming SOTA on LIDC-IDRI.
FlowBender introduces closed-loop training that lets conditional flow models learn correction policies from their own task-specific alignment errors, outperforming supervised and guidance baselines on fidelity and plausibility.
Introduces the Insertion Process model for variable-length non-monotonic sequence generation via a bijective permutation mapping and permutation-based variational inference.
SCMDM is a post-training self-conditioning adaptation for masked diffusion models that reduces generative perplexity by nearly 50% on OWT and improves performance on images, molecules, and genomics.
LangFlow is the first continuous diffusion language model to rival discrete diffusion on perplexity and generative perplexity while exceeding autoregressive baselines on several zero-shot tasks.
DiffuSeq adapts diffusion models to conditional sequence-to-sequence text generation and reports performance matching or exceeding strong baselines including pretrained language model systems while generating more diverse outputs.
Modular Diffusion Models decompose diffusion into task-specific modules to model distributions over structured visual outputs for detection, segmentation, and scene graph generation.
A property-informed diffusion network generates 3D microstructures from text prompts via contrastive text-structure alignment and test-time reward-guided alignment.
BlockBatch is a training-free framework that coordinates multiple block-size branches via token merging and synchronization to reduce denoising NFEs by 26.6% and achieve 1.33x speedup in dLLM inference.
BitLM replaces per-token softmax with bitwise continuous diffusion inside causal blocks to generate multiple tokens in parallel while preserving autoregressive structure.
Coupling Models enable single-step discrete sequence generation via learned couplings to Gaussian latents and outperform prior one-step baselines on text perplexity, biological FBD, and image FID metrics.
Continuous flows on token embeddings with flow-map distillation produce one-step language models whose quality exceeds recent 8-step discrete diffusion baselines on LM1B and OpenWebText.
PAR is a multi-scale autoregressive transformer framework for protein backbone generation that uses coarse-to-fine prediction, noisy context learning, and flow-based decoding to achieve high-quality unconditional and zero-shot conditional outputs.
