Papers
- Grounded Conversation Generation as Guided Traverses in Commonsense Knowledge Graphs (2020 · 183 citations)
Neural dialogue generators often produce bland, repetitive or off-topic replies. Earlier knowledge-aware systems use external knowledge only for concepts that appear explicitly in the input and treat it as a fixed memory. Real conversations, however, drift toward neighbouring and more distant ideas. The authors… - On-Policy Self-Distillation for Efficient Diffusion Language Models with Early-Stage Calibration (2026 · 2 citations)
Diffusion language models such as masked diffusion models (MDMs) decode many tokens in parallel. Their first decoding steps are unreliable because almost every position is still masked. Those early errors carry forward, lowering output quality. They also force the model to unmask only a few tokens per step, which…
