On the Collapse of Generative Paths: A Criterion and Correction for Diffusion Steering

arXiv:2512. 10339v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Inference-time steering adapts pretrained diffusion and flow models to new tasks without retraining, often utilizing ratio-of-densities constructions that reweight time-indexed marginals with fixed exponents.

Analytic Distribution of Classifier-Free Guidance for Schedule Design

Classifier-free guidance (CFG) is the default mechanism for conditional generation in diffusion models, but the distribution sampled by its deterministic guided dynamics is not captured by the usual product-distribution heuristic $p_0^ωq_0^{1-ω}$. We analyze CFG through the probability flow ODE and derive exact analytic path-integral representations of the induced distributions for both constant and time-dependent guidance.

Catastrophic Compositional Generation: Why Vanilla Diffusion Models Fail to Extrapolate

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.

Don't Retrain, Just Reuse: Recovering Dual-Target Molecules from Single-Target Diffusion Models

arXiv:2605. 25681v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Designing a single molecule that modulates two targets is a promising strategy for polypharmacology, but it remains substantially harder than standard single-target generation because one candidate must satisfy two binding requirements while preserving drug-likeness and synthesizability.
