Retrieval-Warmed Energy-Based Reasoning: A Five-Arm Ablation Methodology for Diffusion-as-Inference on Structured Reasoning Tasks
Warm-started diffusion samplers accelerate iterative inference, but it is rarely clear which part of the pipeline carries the gain. We study \textbf{retrieval-warmed energy-based reasoning (RW-EBR)} -- an IRED energy-based diffusion model \cite{du2024ired} augmented with a Modern Hopfield trajectory memory -- and contribute a \textbf{five-arm ablation methodology} (oracle, best-constant, per-query-random, shuffled, aligned) that separates three confounded effects: class-prior bias shift, stochas
