Generalized Discrete Diffusion with Self-Correction
Researchers have introduced a new Self-Correcting Discrete Diffusion (SCDD) model that improves upon existing discrete diffusion models. Unlike previous methods that relied on continuous interpolation or inference-time self-correction, SCDD reformulates pretraining-based self-correction with explicit state transitions, allowing it to learn directly in discrete time. This approach simplifies the training process and has demonstrated more efficient parallel decoding with preserved generation quality in experiments. AI
