LatticeSMC sampler optimizes inference compute for chunked sequence generators

Researchers have developed LatticeSMC, a novel sampling method designed to optimize inference-time compute for sequence generators that produce output in chunks, such as those for music, motion, and video. This method leverages a Feynman-Kac model on a two-dimensional lattice representing chunk index and denoising steps, allowing for exact design choices based on reward structures. LatticeSMC demonstrates significant improvements in metrics like beat alignment and prompt adherence for text-to-music generation tasks, outperforming existing methods like best-of-N sampling under matched computational budgets. AI

IMPACT Optimizes inference compute for generative models, potentially leading to more efficient and higher-quality outputs in multimedia applications.

    LatticeSMC: Where to Spend Inference-Time Compute in Chunked Sequence Generators

    arXiv:2610.02774v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-form generators for music, motion and video produce sequences chunk by chunk, with each chunk generated by iterative denoising while rewards are defined over the full sequence. Existing inference-time steering methods typically…
