Simple Self-Conditioning Adaptation for Masked Diffusion Models
📰 ArXiv cs.AI
arXiv:2604.26985v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Masked diffusion models (MDMs) generate discrete sequences by iterative denoising under an absorbing masking process. In standard masked diffusion, if a token remains masked after a reverse update, the model discards its clean-state prediction for that position. Thus, still-masked positions must be repeatedly inferred from the mask token alone. This design choice limits cross-step refinement. To address this limitation, this paper proposes a simp
