Constrained Diffusion for Protein Design with Hard Structural Constraints

ICLR 2026poster

Diffusion models offer a powerful means of capturing the manifold of realistic protein structures, enabling rapid design for protein engineering tasks. However, existing approaches observe critical failure modes when precise constraints are necessary for functional design. To this end, we present a…

Constrained Discrete Diffusion

NeurIPS 2025poster

Discrete diffusion models are a class of generative models that construct sequences by progressively denoising samples from a categorical noise distribution. Beyond their rapidly growing ability to generate coherent natural language, these models present a new and important opportunity to enforce se…

Simultaneous Multi-Robot Motion Planning with Projected Diffusion Models

ICML 2025poster

Recent advances in diffusion models hold significant potential in robotics, enabling the generation of diverse and smooth trajectories directly from raw representations of the environment. Despite this promise, applying diffusion models to motion planning remains challenging due to their difficulty…

Speculative Diffusion Decoding: Accelerating Language Generation through Diffusion

NAACL 2025long

Speculative decoding has emerged as a widely adopted method to accelerate large language model inference without sacrificing the quality of the model outputs. While this technique has facilitated notable speed improvements by enabling parallel sequence verification, its efficiency remains inherently…

Constrained Synthesis with Projected Diffusion Models

NeurIPS 2024poster

This paper introduces an approach to endow generative diffusion processes the ability to satisfy and certify compliance with constraints and physical principles. The proposed method recast the traditional sampling process of generative diffusion models as a constrained optimization problem, steering…
