Acceleration of Diffusion Language Model through Discrete Average Generator

Discrete diffusion models and flow matching have emerged as powerful frameworks for generative modeling over discrete state spaces, yet efficient few-step generation remains a fundamental challenge. In this work, we introduce the Discrete Average Generator, a principled extension of MeanFlow to Continuous-Time Markov C...

Iterative Exact Discrete Guidance for Energy-Based Sampling

Sampling from unnormalized distributions over large discrete state spaces becomes difficult when a multimodal target is far from a tractable reference. We introduce Iterative Exact Discrete Guidance (IEDG), a population-exact, trajectory-wise guidance framework for unnormalized discrete targets. Rather than learn the f...

Reinforcing the Generation Order of Multimodal Masked Diffusion Models

This work introduces a learnable control module trained via Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) to determine the generation order and demonstrates that learning this control block substantially improves both text-to-image alignment and multimodal understanding in DLMs.
