FMLM+ introduces Posterior Refinement for fast non-autoregressive language generation

Researchers introduce FMLM+, a framework combining Flow Map Language Models with masking-style noise schedules to enable joint sequence generation with per-token global consistency scoring. The key contribution is Posterior Refinement, an inference-time self-correction strategy that matches discrete baseline performance with 32x fewer neural function evaluations (NFEs). The approach improves the speed-quality tradeoff over both Masked Diffusion Models and standard FLMMs across multiple benchmarks, addressing longstanding factorization error problems in non-autoregressive generation.
