Many assume that scaling, in-context learning and instruction-following depend on this design. The authors test that assumption with LLaDA, a masked diffusion language model trained from scratch. 2. **[LLaDA 1.5: Variance-Reduced Preference Optimization for Large Language Diffusion Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhu-2026-llada-1-5-variance-reduced/)** *(2026 · 49 citations)* Masked diffusion models (MDMs) for language cannot compute exact log-likelihoods, so preference alignment methods such as DPO cannot be applied directly. ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[All are Worth Words: A ViT Backbone for Diffusion Models ↗](https://doi.org/10.1109/cvpr52729.2023.02171) IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings · no summary yet**Fan Bao et al.*2023 · 327 citations* 2. **[Large Language Diffusion Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/nie-2025-large-language-diffusion-models/) [Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/)**Shen Nie, Fengqi Zhu, Zebin You, et al.*2025 · 178 citations* 3. **[LLaDA 1.5: Variance-Reduced Preference Optimization for Large Language Diffusion Models](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/zhu-2026-llada-1-5-variance-reduced/) [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/)**Fengqi Zhu, Rongzhen Wang, Shen Nie, et al.*2026 · 49 citations* ## Co-authors here 7 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Chongxuan Li](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/chongxuan-li/) ×2 - [Fengqi Zhu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/fengqi-zhu/) ×2 - [Ji-Rong Wen](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/ji-rong-wen/) ×2 - [Jun Zhou](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jun-zhou/) ×2 - [Xiaolu Zhang](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/xiaolu-zhang/) ×2 - [Yankai Lin](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/yankai-lin/) ×2 - [Jun Hu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jun-hu/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/): [ACL 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/acl/2026/) - [Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NeurIPS)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/): [NeurIPS 2025](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/neural-information-processing-systems/2025/) - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings - IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition/Proceedings ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 250 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [55 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shen-nie/cited-by/).
