Attention-Discounted Adaptive Sampler for Masked Diffusion Language Models
Quick summary
arXiv:2606.10829v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Masked diffusion language models can reduce inference steps by revealing multiple tokens per denoising iteration, but this parallelism is fragile: positions that are individually confident may be unsafe to commit together when their predictions are coupled. Existing training-free samplers such as Top-$k$, Fast-dLLM, and EB-Sampler mainly control how many tokens to reveal, while often ranking candidates by token-wise scores that ignore interactions within the selected set. We propose ADAS, a training-free reranking rule that leaves the b
