Differences in Text Generated by Diffusion and Autoregressive Language Models

This research explores the intrinsic differences in text generated by Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) and Autoregressive Language Models (ARMs), finding that DLMs show lower n-gram entropy but higher semantic coherence and diversity. Controlled experiments reveal that DLM training objectives enhance coherence and diversity through bidirectional context, while decoding algorithms are responsible for entropy reduction.

$S^3$: Stratified Scaling Search for Test-Time in Diffusion Language Models

O trabalho propõe $S^3$ (Stratified Scaling Search), um método de busca guiado por verificador para melhorar a qualidade de geração em modelos de linguagem de difusão durante o tempo de inferência. Ele realoca a computação no processo de denoising, avaliando e reamostrando seletivamente candidatos promissores para favorecer saídas de maior qualidade.

Simple Self-Conditioning Adaptation for Masked Diffusion Models

Masked diffusion models (MDMs) discard clean-state predictions for tokens that remain masked, limiting cross-step refinement. This paper proposes Self-Conditioned Masked Diffusion Models (SCMDM), a post-training adaptation that conditions each denoising step on the model's own previous clean-state predictions. This enhances performance without significant architectural changes or extra evaluations.

Conditional generation of antibody sequences with classifier-guided germline-absorbing discrete diffusion

This research introduces a novel approach for conditional generation of antibody sequences, addressing limitations in current protein language models by better modeling somatic variation and enabling flexible classifier-guided generation. It proposes discrete diffusion fine-tuning and germline absorbing diffusion for improved antibody design.

TMPO: Trajectory Matching Policy Optimization for Diverse and Efficient Diffusion Alignment

Trajectory Matching Policy Optimization (TMPO) addresses reward hacking in reinforcement learning for diffusion models, which often causes mode collapse and degrades generative diversity. It replaces scalar reward maximization with trajectory-level reward distribution matching, using a Softmax Trajectory Balance objective to align policy probabilities with a reward-induced Boltzmann distribution.

LEAP: Unlocking dLLM Parallelism via Lookahead Early-Convergence Token Detection

Diffusion Language Models (dLLMs) face scalability limits in parallelism due to overly conservative confidence thresholds that hinder their potential for highly parallel processing. This paper introduces LEAP, a training-free, plug-and-play method that improves dLLM parallelism by detecting early-converging tokens, thereby accelerating decoding.

Geometry-Aware Tabular Diffusion

Geometry-Aware Tabular Diffusion (GATD) is introduced to improve tabular synthesis by augmenting denoisers with pairwise angles and lengths computed from column value differences. It achieves state-of-the-art performance with fewer parameters, reducing Shape and Trend error, and showing that explicit relational supervision drives the gains.

ICG: Improving Cover Image Generation via MLLM-based Prompting and Personalized Preference Alignment

The paper proposes ICG, a novel framework for personalized cover image generation that integrates MLLM-based prompting with preference alignment. It utilizes semantic features and user embeddings to contextualize the diffusion model and adopts a multi-reward learning strategy to address the lack of labeled supervision.
