Visual Information-Guided Parallel Decoding for Diffusion Multimodal Large Language Models

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 27, 2026 · UTC

Diffusion multimodal large language models (dMLLMs) have recently emerged as a new decoding paradigm for multimodal generation. Starting from a fully masked sequence, dMLLMs progressively decode the sequence by unmasking a subset of the remaining masked positions at each step. Since the selected tokens serve as the prediction context for subsequent steps, deciding which tokens to decode is crucial to the quality of the final output. The most common strategy prioritizes tokens based on a certainty measure that tends to favor tokens frequently observed in the training data. Recent approaches ins
