Model Details

UDLM stands for Uniform Diffusion Language Models. This model was trained using the refined uniform noise discrete diffusion continuous-time ELBO introduced here.

Architecture

The model has a context size of 128 tokens. The model has 139M parameters.

The model architecture is based off of the Diffusion Transformer architecture and consists of:

12 multi-head attention blocks (with 12 attention heads),
hidden dimension of 768,
adaLN for conditioning on time-step (i.e., during diffusion training / generation).

Training Details

The model was trained using the bert-base-uncased tokenizer. We trained for 1M gradient update steps using a batch size of 512. We use linear warm-up with 2500 steps until we reach a constant learning rate of 3e-4.
