arXiv:2606. 06179v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Score-based diffusion models are typically trained by minimizing the $L^2$ score matching error, and standard theoretical analyses rely on this quantity to bound the sampling discrepancy between the learned and target distributions.

arXiv:2607. 23226v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite the empirical success of score-based diffusion models, a complete theoretical understanding of how finite-sample learning, network parameterization, and numerical discretization jointly dictate generative quality remains underdeveloped.

The paper investigates memorization in diffusion models, showing that the empirical score function is a weighted sum of Gaussian score functions with sharp softmax weights, causing individual training samples to dominate and lead to sampling collapse. By approximating this function with a neural network, the authors obtain a smoother representation that generalizes better. They introduce two techniques—Noise Unconditioning and Temperature Smoothing—to further reduce single‑sample dominance, and demonstrate improved generalization across multiple datasets while preserving generation quality.
