arXiv:2607.00773v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Discrete diffusion models are widely used for learning and generating discrete distributions. As the generation process is inherently sequential, the acceleration of sampling is of significant importance. In this work, we parallelize the mainstream $\tau$-leaping algorithm for absorbing discrete diffusion in a Continuous-Time Markov Chain (CTMC) framework. By leveraging the continuous-time stochastic integral form of the $\tau$-leaping algorithm and the Picard iteration method, we achieve parallel-in-time sampling acceleration and provide a proof
The rapid development and widespread adoption of various AI models, especially discrete diffusion models, necessitates continuous innovation in sampling efficiency to meet demand and expand applications.
Accelerating discrete diffusion models through parallel-in-time sampling significantly reduces computational time and resource requirements, making advanced AI more accessible and scalable for diverse applications.
The efficiency of deploying and operating discrete diffusion models dramatically improves, allowing for faster iteration cycles and broader integration into real-world systems.
