How diffusion models circumvent the curse of dimensionality to learn complex distributions over high dimensional spaces from a finite training set, instead of memorizing it, remains a fundamental mystery. To address this, we introduce analytically tractable Bayesian information restricted diffusion (BIRD) models, in which each pixel observes restricted information about noisy data.
The paper argues that the concrete random noise used in diffusion models is not merely a passive perturbation but a learnable input that can be exploited by the model. By analyzing how clean data and realized noise jointly form the noisy input, the authors show that the model can learn regularities in the data or in the noise structure, and that these two routes can interact. Experiments on MNIST and CIFAR‑10 using pseudorandom streams demonstrate that structured‑noise training can reduce prediction loss, but this advantage disappears when test noise is replaced with IID noise, indicating that the learned dependence is tied to the specific noise structure.
