Masked diffusion as random sequential adsorption: an exactly solvable model for parallel decoding
Derives the error from filling several masked positions independently in an exactly solvable Markov-chain model. Uses the dependence between tokens to calculate decoding schedules that reduce this error.

Alternative generation methods — Change how intermediate steps are generated, revised, or searched—for example, by refining several steps in parallel. Some produce written chains of thought.
Analysis and evaluation — Measure how well these methods work, investigate what their internal computation does, and identify where they fail. This includes experiments, studies of model internals, and mathematical results.
