GeoSPRINT is a training‑free framework that constructs non‑uniform sampling schedules for diffusion model inference by detecting geometrically redundant steps in denoising trajectories. It uses a hyperplanarity test in latent space, implemented via QR factorization, to allocate more steps to high‑curvature regions, and introduces the trajectory projection score α_traj as a model‑free diagnostic for flow quality. Across CIFAR‑10, LSUN Church, and Stable Diffusion v1.5, GeoSPRINT consistently outperforms uniform DDIM schedules at matched NFE budgets, improving FID scores by up to 1.93 points.

arXiv:2607. 26285v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Two central challenges in diffusion-based sampling are the theoretical one of understanding their remarkable effectiveness even in high-dimensional settings, and the practical one of designing algorithms with certified performance guarantees.

The paper proves that for discrete diffusion models using uniform or remasking forward processes, an adaptive sampler based on a leave‑one‑out denoiser can achieve sampling error proportional to the score‑estimation error plus a small tolerance. The required number of discretization steps scales with the dual total correlation of the target distribution, not directly with the ambient dimension. This result shows that sampling complexity is governed by the intrinsic dependence structure of the distribution, and the authors provide an information‑theoretic analysis linking discretization error to mutual information between coordinates.

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.
