arXiv:2606. 23920v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The task of compositional generation involves using a conditional generative model, trained only on a subset of the possible conditions, to produce samples from compositionally-defined target distributions such as a geometric combination of the source distributions.

arXiv:2601. 08379v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pre-trained diffusion models have emerged as powerful generative priors for both unconditional and conditional sample generation, yet their outputs often deviate from the characteristics of user-specific target data.

arXiv:2607. 14398v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Constrained generative models aim to produce samples that satisfy complex feasibility constraints while remaining faithful to the data distribution.

arXiv:2502. 04646v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Weighted sampling -- sampling from a probability density function (PDF) proportional to the product of a base PDF and a weight function -- is a fundamental technique with wide-ranging applications in variance reduction, biased sampling, data augmentation, and more.

arXiv:2604. 26985v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Masked diffusion models (MDMs) generate discrete sequences by iterative denoising under an absorbing masking process.
By Michael Cardei, Huu Binh Ta, Ferdinando Fioretto
arXiv:2607. 10853v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Diffusion models faithfully reproduce their training distribution, but also inherit its imbalances and leave rare or under-represented modes hard to reach.

arXiv:2606. 13240v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A key strength of diffusion models lies in their flexibility, since their outputs can be controlled at sampling time through guidance.

arXiv:2603. 14504v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Optimizing the noise samples of diffusion and flow models is an increasingly popular approach to align these models to target rewards at inference time.

arXiv:2503. 07154v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Generative pre-training is often framed through a false dichotomy between autoregressive models for discrete signals and diffusion models for continuous signals.
By Jiaming Song, Linqi Zhou
arXiv:2608. 03117v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The performance of generative diffusion models is determined by the choice of the reference diffusion process connecting the empirical and prior distributions.

arXiv:2603. 02230v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Self-correction is an effective technique for maintaining parallel sampling in discrete diffusion models with minimal performance degradation.

arXiv:2510. 17136v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The generation of high-quality, diverse, and prompt-aligned images is a central goal in image-generating diffusion models.
