+
+    This sampling algorithm is similar to Beam Search, except we use a
+    non-deterministic resampling function to downsample instead of only keeping
+    particles with the largest probability. In the simplest case the downsampling
+    function is multinomial sampling. You may want to use other resampling functions
+    as multinomial resampling is known to lead to very large variance.
+
+    Since we mask the logits before sampling we need to apply a correction to the
+    log-probability before sampling. Indeed, sampling from the distribution
+    of sequences that respect the constraint corresponds to sampling from
+    the next-token distribution and then assigning 0 weight to the sequences
+    that violate the constraint. We can see the process implemented here as
+    using the distribution with masked tokens as a locally optimal proposal, and
+    we need to correct for this choice of proposal.
+
+    Particle filters often only resample particles when the variability of the
+    weights is too large. Here we resample at every step.
+
+    Note
