In-Place Instruction Following in Diffusion Language Models

Diffusion Large Language Models (dLLMs) generate text via bidirectional iterative denoising, naturally supporting user-specified constraints anchored at arbitrary output positions, a paradigm known as In-place Prompting (IPP). We formalize this as the In-place Instruction Following (IIF) task and construct IIF-Bench, a hierarchical benchmark spanning literal, style, and discourse-function constraints, paired with a rubric-based local-global evaluation protocol. An inference-time attention-bias probe suggests that vanilla dLLMs often under-prioritize constraint spans during denoising. We then p

Useful for: The approach applies to diffusion large language models supporting user-specified constraints at arbitrary output positions. · Limitation: Vanilla dLLMs often under-prioritize constraint spans during denoising.

Membership Inference in Fine-tuned Diffusion Language Models via Token-level Memorization Asymmetry

Diffusion language models (DLMs) have recently emerged as an alternative modeling paradigm to autoregressive LMs, offering advantages such as parallel generation and bidirectional context modeling. Despite growing interest in their generative capabilities, the privacy risks of DLMs remain underexplored. We identify a phenomenon termed token-level memorization asymmetry through theoretical analysis of diffusion training dynamics. Building on this finding, we propose Q-Skew, a quantile-weighted skewness-based indicator for membership inference on finetuned DLMs. Experiments across multiple fine-
