Researchers have developed a new method called Marginal-Preserving Coupled Diffusion Composition (MCDC) to improve long-horizon planning for compositional diffusion planners. This training-free inference technique addresses the issue of global inconsistency that arises when independently generated trajectory chunks are stitched together. MCDC achieves this by introducing a graph-structured dependence among the initial diffusion noises of these chunks, biasing neighboring chunks toward compatible overlap modes while maintaining the standard Gaussian marginals required by pretrained denoisers. Experiments on OGBench long-horizon tasks show that MCDC consistently outperforms independent sampling and offers a competitive success-cost trade-off compared to existing search-based composition methods.
