Yilun Du explains how diffusion and energy-based models can be composed to solve complex symbolic reasoning and planning tasks.

Yilun Du (Harvard University) simons.berkeley.edu/talks/yilun-du-harvard-university-2026-0… Diffusion Generative Modeling: Progress and Next Steps I'll present how we can use diffusion models and closely related energy-based models to solve different reasoning tasks. I'll talk about how these models naturally enable us to implement search at inference time, and how these models can be composed together to solve more complex reasoning questions. Finally, I'll empirically illustrate how such a reasoning system allows us to solve a number of complex symbolic reasoning and decision-making/planning tasks.
