We introduce Generalized Discrete Diffusion from Snapshots (GDDS), a unified framework for discrete diffusion modeling that supports arbitrary noising processes over large discrete state spaces. Our formulation encompasses all existing discrete diffusion approaches, while allowing significantly greater flexibility in the choice of corruption dynamics. The forward noising process relies on uniformization and enables fast arbitrary corruption. For the reverse process, we derive a simple evidence lower bound (ELBO) based on snapshot latents, instead of the entire noising path, that allows efficient training of standard generative modeling architectures with clear probabilistic interpretation. Our experiments on large-vocabulary discrete generation tasks suggest that the proposed framework outperforms existing discrete diffusion methods in terms of training efficiency and generation quality, and beats autoregressive models for the first time at this scale. We provide the code along with a blog post on the project page : \href{https://oussamazekri.fr/gdds}{https://oussamazekri.fr/gdds}.

Abrego Garcia released as U.S. bid to detain him ruled'constitutionally infirm' Salvadoran migrant and U.S. resident Kilmar Abrego Garcia arrives at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Baltimore, Maryland, on Aug. 25. A federal judge in Maryland has ordered the immediate release of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran migrant at the center of political and legal battles as a symbol of U.S. President Donald Trump's hard-line immigration policies. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis held on Thursday that U.S. officials lacked legal grounds to keep Abrego Garcia in custody and that his ongoing detention appeared to be "constitutionally infirm." Abrego Garcia has been fighting Trump administration efforts to deport him while also defending against human smuggling charges in Tennessee. U.S. officials' latest plan had been to send him to Liberia, but a judge has blocked that for now.

Six new cookbooks bring stellar dishes--and cultures--from around the world into your kitchen. All products featured on WIRED are independently selected by our editors. However, we may receive compensation from retailers and/or from purchases of products through these links. Think about how difficult cooking from a cookbook from another culture was as little as 10 years ago. Once in a while, you could get your hands on a standout, but the food you could make with it could feel like a compromise with too many substitutions and ingredients you just couldn't find without great effort, or at all.

For example, in the Pandemic Response Challenge experiment, the context consisted of data about the geographic region for which the predictions were made, e.g., historical data of COVID-19 cases and intervention policies; actions were future schedules of intervention policies for the region; and outcomes were predicted future cases of COVID-19 along with the stringency
