Diffusion Language Models

Systematic survey of key papers on diffusion language models (DLLM)

Diffusion Language Models (DLLM) bring the ideas behind the diffusion models that succeeded in image generation into language modeling, with recent large-scale implementations such as LLaDA and Dream. This book organizes the key references needed to understand modern DLLMs, covering their formulation, sampling strategies, and the correspondence with continuous diffusion models.
