提出统一能量函数，提升扩散语言模型并行生成效果

Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) enable parallel text generation by iteratively denoising a full sequence, offering attractive flexibility compared to auto-regressive (AR) decoding. However, existing methods fail to fully capture token relationships, leading to a performance gap relative to AR baselines, especially as the degree of parallelism increases. In this paper, we give a systematic analysis of the gap, identifying three key factors: (i) model capacity, (ii) dependency, and (iii) invariance. To address these issues, we first propose an invariant energy (Inv-E) together with an effective sampling-based estimator to handle the invariance issue. By further combining with the independent energy (Ind-E), we obtain a unified energy (Uni-E), that accounts for all these factors. Uni-E enjoys a unique advantage: it can be computed exactly without sampling-based partition estimation. Besides, Uni-E is model agnostic and can therefore be scaled to models of arbitrary size. We further prove that Uni-E can correct the distribution shift caused by dependency and invariance. Extensive experiments across Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) and Diffusion Large Language Models (DLLMs) demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed Uni-E.
