Small Language Models (SLMs) have emerged as a more efficient alternative to traditional Large Language Models (LLMs), offering promising potential in resource-constrained scenarios. Existing approaches to building SLMs typically follow two paths: training compact models from scratch, or compressing larger pre-trained...

Diffusion language models (DLMs) have emerged as a promising alternative to the auto-regressive paradigm. With bidirectional attention and any-order generation, DLMs naturally fit infilling tasks, which require generating a middle span conditioned on both the prefix and the suffix. However, infilling is sensitive to th...

This work proposes method that unifies textual reasoning and graph message passing within a masked diffusion language model, a language model with bidirectional attention and generative decoding that outperforms graph neural networks, graph transformers, and LLM-based baselines on all three TAG benchmarks across two ta...
