Diffusion Alignment as Variational Expectation-Maximization

arXiv:2510.00502v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion alignment aims to optimize diffusion models for the downstream objective. While existing methods based on reinforcement learning or direct backpropagation achieve considerable success in maximizing rewards, they often suffer from reward over-optimization and mode…

Quantum Diffusion Models: Score Reversal Is Not Free in Gaussian Dynamics

arXiv:2603.06488v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion-based generative modeling suggests reversing a noising semigroup by adding a score drift. For continuous-variable Gaussian Markov dynamics, complete positivity couples drift and diffusion at the generator level. For a quantum-limited attenuator with thermal parameter…

GaiaFlow: Semantic-Guided Diffusion Tuning for Carbon-Frugal Search

arXiv:2602.15423v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As the burgeoning power requirements of sophisticated neural architectures escalate, the information retrieval community has recognized ecological sustainability as a pivotal priority that necessitates a fundamental paradigm shift in model design. While contemporary neural rankers…

Conditionally Site-Independent Neural Evolution of Antibody Sequences

arXiv:2602.18982v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Common deep learning approaches for antibody engineering focus on modeling the marginal distribution of sequences. By treating sequences as independent samples, however, these methods overlook affinity maturation as a rich and largely untapped source of…
