New Lattice Framework Unifies Diffusion and Autoregressive Models

Researchers have unified diffusion and autoregressive (AR) models by conceptualizing them as paths on a corruption lattice. This framework allows for the prediction of decoding schedule performance based on data geometry, specifically the graph's treedepth, which dictates the minimum steps for zero-cost schedules. The study proposes a method to rank schedules by estimating pairwise dependence from pretrained weights, verifying these predictions across text, image, and video generation tasks. AI

IMPACT Provides a unified design principle for decoding schedules in future AR, diffusion, and hybrid models.
