arXiv:2310. 05264v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this work, we investigate an intriguing and prevalent phenomenon of diffusion models which we term as "consistent model reproducibility": given the same starting noise input and a deterministic sampler, different diffusion models often yield remarkably similar outputs.

arXiv:2606. 13796v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recursive training of generative models on their own outputs can lead to model collapse, a compounding drift away from the true data distribution.

arXiv:2603. 12901v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While diffusion models have emerged as a powerful class of generative models, their learning dynamics remain poorly understood.

arXiv:2605. 00161v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion language models (DLMs) are an attractive alternative to autoregressive models because they promise sublinear-time, parallel generation, yet practical gains remain elusive as high-quality samples still demand hundreds of refinement steps.

arXiv:2608. 02575v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion models rely on stochastic inputs, yet on finite-precision hardware, the "randomness" they consume is realized as deterministic numerical orbits generated by pseudorandom rules.

arXiv:2606. 09718v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion models have demonstrated remarkable generative capabilities and have also emerged as powerful self-supervised representation learners, yet the connection between these two abilities remains less explored.

arXiv:2409. 02426v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Despite their empirical success across a wide range of generative tasks, the fundamental principles underlying the ability of diffusion models to learn data distributions are poorly understood.

arXiv:2605. 13175v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent works have proposed incorporating heavy-tailed (HT) noise into diffusion- and flow-based generative models, with the goals of better recovering the tails of target distributions and improving generative diversity.

How diffusion models circumvent the curse of dimensionality to learn complex distributions over high dimensional spaces from a finite training set, instead of memorizing it, remains a fundamental mystery. To address this, we introduce analytically tractable Bayesian information restricted diffusion (BIRD) models, in which each pixel observes restricted information about noisy data.

arXiv:2409. 18804v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPM) are powerful state-of-the-art methods used to generate synthetic data from high-dimensional data distributions and are widely used for image, audio, and video generation as well as many more applications in science and beyond.
