Survey on Block Diffusion Language Models: Top Conference Papers
volokuleshov · x · 2026-07-06
@volokuleshov compiled a list of papers on "Block Diffusion," a direction that interpolates between autoregressive and diffusion language models. Featuring publications from ICLR 2025, NeurIPS 2024/2025, and ICML 2025, the collection covers topics including encoder-decoder block diffusion, simple guidance mechanisms for discrete diffusion models, masked diffusion language models, and "diffusion duality," systematically mapping the research trajectory of this emerging paradigm.
