The paper introduces Learned End-to-End Guidance Schedules (LEEGS) for diffusion models, which train a time‑dependent guidance schedule to balance data quality and requirement satisfaction while reducing sampling steps. LEEGS minimizes the guidance function over a small set of examples using stochastic gradient descent and employs a gradient approximation to cut training time by a factor of four. Experiments on tasks such as image inpainting, noisy image inverse problems, face‑ID‑guided generation, and PDE problems show that LEEGS outperforms baselines at the same computational budget or matches constant guidance with only 10% of the steps.

The paper introduces a method for specificity‑aware diffusion steering that suppresses undesired samples while preserving desired ones. By formulating the problem as a target‑design task, it derives a time‑dependent target distribution based on overlap between positive and negative reference distributions, and samples from it using a variance‑reduced Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) sampler. Experiments on synthetic, class‑contrastive, text‑to‑image, and peptide‑MHC tasks demonstrate reduced mode shift, improved sampling stability, and better suppression of undesired regions compared to negative‑guidance baselines.

arXiv:2607. 03904v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) provide a unique window into nanohertz gravitational waves (GWs), but extracting astrophysical parameters from noisy, long-baseline timing residuals remains computationally challenging with traditional Bayesian techniques due to the high dimensionality of the parameter space, complex and correlated noise models, and the cost of repeated likelihood evaluations.
