arXiv:2606.06303v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Controllable generation with discrete diffusion models is often hindered by high computational overhead or the need for retraining. In this paper, we present \underline{\textbf{G}}radient-\underline{\textbf{I}}nformed \underline{\textbf{L}}ogit \underline{\textbf{C}}orrection (\textbf{GILC}), a plug-and-play framework that efficiently estimates guidance signals by repurposing the pretrained denoising network as a variational proxy. To circumvent the gradient instability inherent in high-dimensional discrete spaces, we introduce a Jacobian-free me
The continuous maturation of discrete diffusion models necessitates more efficient and controllable generation methods, addressing existing computational bottlenecks.
This development offers a potential breakthrough in making advanced AI generation models more accessible and less resource-intensive, broadening their application across various industries.
Controllable generation with discrete diffusion models could become significantly more efficient without requiring extensive retraining or high computational overhead, enabling wider adoption.
