LADDER: Graph-Guided Diffusion Language Models for Efficient Multi-Hop Reasoning

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 21, 2026 · UTC

Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation (GraphRAG) has remarkably enhanced large language models on complex reasoning by leveraging structured entity topologies. However, existing frameworks heavily rely on standard autoregressive language models where the nature of inherent sequential generation severely hinders overall inference efficiency. Inspired by Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) that offer massive parallelism via continuous refine-in-parallel decoding, we aim to accelerate GraphRAG in the discrete space. However, it remains non-trivial for two challenges. First, partially denoised drafts
