Diffusion-GR2: Diffusion Generative Reasoning Re-ranker

Zhuoxuan Zhang, Kangqi Ni, Yuhang Chen, Mingfu Liang, Xiaohan Wei, Yunchen Pu, et al.

Generative reasoning re-rankers achieve strong recommendation accuracy by emitting a chain-of-thought before re-ordering a candidate list, but they are slow at inference: an autoregressive (AR) decoder spends one sequential forward pass per reasoning token, and the reasoning trac…

Bifocal Diffusion Language Models: Asymmetric Bidirectional Context for Parallel Generation

Yuhang Chen, Xianfeng Wu, Jinhao Duan, Mingfu Liang, Xiaohan Wei, Yunchen Pu, et al.

Discrete diffusion language models (dLLMs) recover masked tokens in parallel, offering significant speedups over autoregressive (AR) generation. However, such promising frameworks face a fundamental architectural design dilemma: \ding{182} Adopting bidirectional attention achieve…

End-to-End Dynamic Sparsity for Resource-Adaptive LLM Inference

Yuhang Chen, Jinhao Duan, Ruichen Zhang, Mingfu Liang, Xiaohan Wei, Yunchen Pu, et al.

Large Language Models (LLMs) inference is typically deployed under a static resource assumption, where models execute a fixed computational graph regardless of the runtime environment. However, real-world cloud infrastructure is inherently dynamic, characterized by fluctuating av…
