- Simple and Effective Masked Diffusion Language Models (2024 · 152 citations)
Diffusion methods have trailed autoregressive (AR) models in language modeling likelihood. This work argues the gap is smaller than earlier reports suggested. The authors restrict themselves to masking (absorbing-state) discrete diffusion and present MDLM, which pairs careful modern training practice with a cleaner… - d2: Improving Reasoning in Diffusion Language Models via Trajectory Likelihood Estimation (2025 · 4 citations)
Reinforcement learning is the standard way to add reasoning skills to autoregressive LLMs. It is harder to apply to masked diffusion language models (DLMs) because policy-gradient updates need the likelihood of the whole sampling trajectory. Computing that likelihood naively takes one forward pass per denoising step.…
