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…

Decouple Searching from Training: Scaling Data Mixing via Model Merging for Large Language Model Pre-training

ICML 2026poster

Determining an effective data mixture is a key factor in Large Language Model (LLM) pre-training, where models must balance general competence with proficiency on hard tasks such as math and code. However, identifying an optimal mixture remains an open challenge, as existing approaches either rely o…

Interleaving Reasoning for Better Text-to-Image Generation

ICLR 2026poster

Unified multimodal understanding and generation models recently have achieve significant improvement in image generation capability, yet a large gap remains in instruction following and detail preservation compared to systems that tightly couple comprehension with generation such as GPT-4o. Motivate…

In-Context Former: Lightning-fast Compressing Context for Large Language Model

EMNLP 2024finding

With the rising popularity of Transformer-based large language models (LLMs), reducing their high inference costs has become a significant research focus. One effective approach to mitigate these costs is compressing the long input contexts. Existing methods typically leverage the self-attention mec…

Retrieve-Plan-Generation: An Iterative Planning and Answering Framework for Knowledge-Intensive LLM Generation

EMNLP 2024main

Despite the significant progress of large language models (LLMs) in various tasks, they often produce factual errors due to their limited internal knowledge. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which enhances LLMs with external knowledge sources, offers a promising solution. However, these methods…
