Uniform diffusion models rely on a leave-one-out denoiser rather than the usual denoising posterior, with exact conversions derived; an absorbing-state reformulation is introduced that matches or exceeds masked diffusion on language modeling while preserving the original joint distribution.

TokenDrift refines discrete diffusion language models by applying anti-symmetric drifting to soft-token features during training, yielding large reductions in generation perplexity at low NFEs.
MDU minimizes forward KL divergence from prompt-conditional to prompt-masked unconditional predictions at masked positions to unlearn knowledge in MDLMs while trading off privacy and utility via temperature scaling.
DCDM replaces positional blocks with learnable semantic chunks via differentiable Chunking Attention, yielding consistent gains over block and unstructured diffusion baselines up to 1.5B parameters.
TAD improves the accuracy-parallelism trade-off in diffusion LLMs via temporal-aware self-distillation that applies hard labels to soon-to-be-decoded tokens and soft supervision to future tokens.
MemDLM embeds a simulated denoising trajectory into DLM training via bi-level optimization, creating a parametric memory that improves convergence and long-context performance even when the memory is dropped at test time.
DSL provides a continuous embedding framework where one denoiser supports a family of SNR paths for discrete sequences, improving MAUVE scores on OpenWebText and allowing random-order and hybrid sampling from a fine-tuned MDLM checkpoint.
DPLM-Evo adds explicit edit operations and a latent alignment space to discrete diffusion protein models, achieving SOTA single-sequence mutation effect prediction on ProteinGym while supporting variable-length generation.
Fixed-Point Distillation constructs one-step correction targets for discrete diffusion generators via partial corruption and single teacher refinement, lifted into continuous features with a multi-bandwidth drift loss and straight-through estimation.
