Balancing Understanding and Generation in Discrete Diffusion Models

ICML 2026spotlight

In discrete generative modeling, two dominant paradigms demonstrate divergent capabilities: Masked Diffusion Language Models (MDLM) excel at semantic understanding and zero-shot generalization, whereas Uniform-noise Diffusion Language Models (UDLM) achieve strong few-step generation quality, yet nei…

CombinationTS: A Modular Framework for Understanding Time-Series Forecasting Models

ICML 2026poster

Recent progress in time-series forecasting has led to rapidly increasing architectural complexity, yet many reported State-of-the-Art gains are statistically fragile or misattributed. We argue that progress requires a shift from model selection to modular attribution, identifying which components tr…

InfoLaw: Information Scaling Laws for Large Language Models with Quality-Weighted Mixture Data and Repetition

ICML 2026poster

Upweighting high-quality data in LLM pretraining often improves performance, but in data-limited regimes, especially under overtraining, stronger upweighting increases repetition and can degrade performance. However, standard scaling laws do not reliably extrapolate across mixture recipes or under r…

WEVSR: Adapting Video Diffusion Generators to Real-World Video Super‑Resolution with Wavelet-Enhanced VAE Encoder

ICML 2026poster

Recent advances in video diffusion models have demonstrated remarkable generative capability, yet adapting these large pretrained text-to-video (T2V) models to video super‑resolution (VSR) typically encounters challenges, such as artifacts introduced by complex degradations in real-world scenarios a…
