Coupling Models for One-Step Discrete Generation
Generative modeling over discrete structures underpins applications across deep learning, from biological sequence design and code generation to large language models, yet generation often remains sequential, relying on autoregressive decoding or iterative refinement. In this work, we introduce Coupling Models(Coupling Models), a one-step discrete generative model that learns a direct coupling between discrete sequences and Gaussian latents. Unlike recent distillation methods that compress a pretrained multi-step sampler into a few steps, Coupling Model trains a purpose-built decoder to invert this coupling and generate samples in a single step. The model also avoids complex continuous fl...
