Diffusion vs. Autoregressive Language Models: A Text Embedding Perspective (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large language model (LLM)-based embedding models surpass BERT and T5 on general-purpose text embeddable tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose to adopt diffusion language models for text embeddings to overcome limitations in unidirectional attention used during autoregressive pre-training. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms the existing LLM-based embedding model on reasoning tasks by 20% and 2% on traditional embeddable benchmarks. |
