T⋆: Progressive Block Scaling for Masked Diffusion Language Models Through Trajectory Aware Reinforcement Learning (2026.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Autoregressive (AR) modeling via next-token prediction dominates scaling practice and deployed systems. |
| Approach: | They propose a TraceRL-based curriculum for progressive block-size scaling in masked diffusion language models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed curriculum outperforms direct large-block TraceRL on two SDAR scales and three benchmarks and retains block-size-specific non-monotone updates while improving accuracy. |

| Challenge: | Recent deep generative models have already shown encouraging * Equal contribution. |
| Approach: | They propose to use generic instruction-tuned LLMs as direct text-to-sequence generators to achieve this goal. |
| Outcome: | Recent studies show that reflection improves sequence quality and alignment while maintaining competitive foldability. |
