Variational Learning for Insertion-based Generation
Researchers have developed a new probabilistic framework called the Insertion Process (IP) for generative models that can handle variable-length sequences. Unlike traditional left-to-right models, IP allows tokens to be generated in a non-fixed order, learning both what and when to insert, and when to terminate. Experiments show that this approach improves modeling quality and generalization for tasks like planning and molecular string generation, particularly in domains lacking a clear sequential structure.
