DepCap Method Enhances Diffusion Language Model Inference Through Adaptive Block-Wise Parallel Decoding
A novel framework named DepCap has been unveiled to enhance the efficiency of inference in diffusion language models. This method tackles the shortcomings of current block-wise decoding techniques, which depend on fixed schedules or localized signals. By employing cross-step signals to identify block boundaries and token-level conflict signals for parallel decoding, DepCap strives to improve the balance between generation quality and decoding speed. The findings were shared on arXiv under the identifier 2604.15750v1. With diffusion language models emerging as a viable alternative to autoregressive generation due to their capacity for parallel decoding and global sequence refinement, this new framework aims to maximize their potential by refining the quality-speed balance.
