From Scores to Gibbs Correctors: Accelerating Uniform-Rate Discrete Diffusion Models

arXiv:2605.27352v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Discrete diffusion models have achieved strong empirical performance in text and other symbolic domains, but, especially for uniform-rate models, they often require many steps to generate a single sample. Existing acceleration methods either rely on training additional quantities or suffer from slow mixing. In this work, we propose a novel Gibbs-based corrector for discrete diffusion models, termed Gibbs-Accelerated Discrete Diffusion (GADD). GADD leverages the structure of the concrete score function to construct Gibbs posterior likelihoods dire

Why this matters
