Abstract:
Human cognition does not separate understanding and generation. A teacher at a whiteboard speaks and draws $\textit{together}$, each modality reshapes the other. In this paper, we bring this coupled loop to artificial systems. Masked Diffusion Models (MDMs) are ideally suited to this task, yet...
