ELF-REG: Scaling Continuous Diffusion Language Models to Reasoning Tasks

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2609.29102v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Fully continuous diffusion language models (dLMs) denoise continuous representations without intermediate discretization, then decode all response tokens in parallel at the final step. Their performance on challenging reasoning tasks remains less established than that of autoregressive (AR) LLMs and masked dLMs. We scale Embedded Language Flows (ELF) to mathematical reasoning and code generation on GSM8K, MATH-500, HumanEval, and MBPP. We introduce ELF-REG, which improves learning with representation alignment and entanglement (REPA+REG), where a frozen AR teacher supervises intermediate denoiser features and supplies a global representation that is jointly denoised with the response. ELF-REG-L achieves 55.96% pass@1 on GSM8K at 64
