Diffutron: A Masked Diffusion Language Model for Turkish Language
Masked Diffusion Language Models (MDLMs) have emerged as a compelling non-autoregressive alternative to standard large language models; however, their application to morphologically rich languages remains limited. In this paper, we introduce $\textit{Diffutron}$, a masked diffusion language model specifically designed for Turkish. Our approach leverages a resource-efficient training pipeline, starting with LoRA-based continual pre-training of a multilingual encoder on a large-scale corpus. To enable generative capabilities, we employ a progressive instruction-tuning strategy, sequentially adapting the model on general and task-specific instruction sets. Experimental results across comprehensive benchmarks demonstrate that, despite its compact size, our model achieves competitive performance compared to existing multi-billion-parameter baselines. These findings validate the effectiveness of masked diffusion modeling combined with multi-stage tuning for non-autoregressive text generation in Turkish.

HUKUKBERT: Domain-Specific Language Model for Turkish Law
Natural language processing (NLP) advances have powered a generation of LegalTech systems, but Turkish law remains under-served by domain-specific data and models. English has legal encoders such as LEGAL-BERT; no compar…
Cloze TestMoganBert-TR: A Turkish Encoder Foundation Model Trained from Scratch with a CLM-to-MLM Curriculum
Turkish encoder models have adopted modern architectures while leaving the pretraining objective fixed at masked language modelling. This paper introduces MoganBert-TR, a 149M-parameter Turkish encoder foundation model t…
