Accelerate test-time scaling for diffusion language models by identifying inconsistent tokens, selectively remask and regenerate only uncertain tokens, and aggregate across samples via voting. Achieve 5.5-22× speedup over standard iterative sampling with 6-8% accuracy gains on reasoning tasks.
dVoting: Fast Voting for dLLMs
Problem Context
Diffusion language models can generate tokens in any order and refine them through masking and redenoising. Standard test-time scaling generates multiple samples and averages predictions. However, most tokens remain consistent across samples—only a small subset vary. dVoting exploits this by identifying variable tokens, regenerating only those selectively, and using voting to aggregate.
Core Concept
dVoting operates in three phases: (1) identify tokens with cross-sample disagreement, (2) selectively remask inconsistent tokens, (3) regenerate and aggregate via voting. This reduces computation by focusing computation on the small disagreement set.
Architecture Overview
Consistency detection: Compare tokens across multiple samples
Uncertainty identification: Flag tokens with disagreement
Selective remask: Only remask uncertain tokens
Regeneration: Run denoising only on uncertainty regions
Voting aggregation: Combine candidate answers via vote
