ViL-DLM: Vision xLSTM Diffusion Language Model
Architecture:
[Image] → ViL Encoder → MLP Projector → [Visual Tokens]
[Visual Tokens] + [Text Tokens (masked)] → Bidirectional Diffusion LM → Denoised Tokens
Components:
1. ViL (Vision xLSTM) - custom vision encoder with linear complexity
2. MLP Projector - maps ViL features to LM embedding space
3. Qwen3-0.6B Diffusion LM - bidirectional masked diffusion backbone (from dLLM)
Training:
Stage 1: Train projector only (ViL frozen, LM frozen) on LLaVA-Pretrain
Stage 2: Full finetune on multimodal instruction data
Stage 3: + Knowledge distillation from Gemma 4 E2B teacher
Diffusion Process (MDLM):
Forward: progressively mask tokens with [MASK] according to cosine schedule
Reverse: iteratively predict masked tokens using bidirectional attention
Loss: weighted cross-entropy on masked positions
