Unified Energy for Invariant and Independent Decoding in Diffusion Language Models
TL;DR
Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) struggle to capture token relationships effectively, resulting in lower performance compared to auto-regressive (AR) models. This paper introduces a systematic analysis that identifies three critical factors affecting DLM performance: model capacity, dependency, and invariance.
✦ Why It Matters
Engineers can enhance DLM performance by focusing on model capacity, token dependency, and invariance in their designs.
Key Takeaways
- Adopt Unified Energy for better decoding in DLMs.
- Utilize exact computation methods to enhance scalability.
- Address token relationship issues to improve performance.
- Experiment with Inv-E and Ind-E combinations for optimal results.
How It Works
Unified Energy (Uni-E) integrates Invariant Energy (Inv-E) and Independent Energy (Ind-E) to address the shortcomings of existing decoding methods in DLMs. Inv-E tackles the invariance issue, while Ind-E focuses on independence among tokens.
This combination allows for exact computation without the need for sampling, which is a common limitation in traditional approaches.
