Title: Adaptive Guidance for Retrieval-Augmented Masked Diffusion Models

Abstract:
arXiv:2603.17677v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) improves factual grounding by incorporating external knowledge into language model generation. However, when retrieved context is noisy, unreliable, or inconsistent with the model's parametric knowledge, it introduces retrieval-prior conflicts that can degrade generation quality. While this problem has been studied in autoregressive language models, it remains largely unexplored in diffusion-based lang
