Spatial Message Passing in Language Space for Pathology Image Interpretation
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) can generate pathological descriptions from histological images, but gigapixel Whole Slide Images (WSIs) exceed their visual context limits. The standard tiling workaround makes WSIs tractable yet severs the tissue neighborhoods that define tumor-stroma interfaces and morphology. We introduce Spatial Language Message Passing (SLMP), a framework that performs spatial reasoning entirely in language space, human-readable by construction. SLMP represents a WSI region as a spatial text graph: tiles are nodes initialized with MLLM descriptions, and edges enco
Trace-Based On-Policy Distillation for Masked Diffusion Language Models
Diffusion large language models (dLLMs) are a promising alternative to autoregressive generation. However, reasoning-oriented post-training for dLLMs remains challenging. Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) for dLLMs requires dense but often off-policy masked states, while reinforcement learning (RL) relies on sparse rewards or value modeling. This paper proposes \textbf{trace-based on-policy distillation (TOPD)}, a teacher-supervised framework that transfers reasoning ability to a target dLLM without reward estimation. The key idea is to supervise a dLLM on its own denoising trajectory, focusing on
