For continuous processes, a common approach is to begin with a fully corrupted representation and progressively restore it, rather than decomposing left to right token by token.

“And the uh the idea that you want to do or like most people settle on for continuous uh product processes is instead of separating kind of uh from left right, let's say token by token by token, it's they say let's we we separate from from bottom to top, like we start off with all tokens, but kind of corrupted and kind of go back up.”
