Adversarial Learning of Classifier-Free Guidance Schedules

arXiv:2608. 14038v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern text-to-image diffusion models rely on classifier-free guidance (CFG) to achieve high image fidelity and text alignment.

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.

Learning Sampling Parameters for Diffusion Models

Text-to-image diffusion models expose many inference-time sampling parameters, including prompts, negative prompts, classifier-free guidance scales, and noise schedules. These parameters are typically manually chosen once and then held fixed across prompts and denoising timesteps, even though different prompts and stages of generation can benefit from different parameter values.

MMD Guidance: Training-Free Distribution Adaptation for Diffusion Models via Maximum Mean Discrepancy Guidance

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.
