arXiv:2607. 10067v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While autoregressive models optimize the exact data likelihood via the chain rule, diffusion models are typically trained with denoising objectives.
arXiv:2409. 18804v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPM) are powerful state-of-the-art methods used to generate synthetic data from high-dimensional data distributions and are widely used for image, audio, and video generation as well as many more applications in science and beyond.
arXiv:2508. 03636v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose a Likelihood Matching approach for training diffusion models by first establishing an equivalence between the likelihood of the target data distribution and a likelihood along the sample path of the reverse diffusion.
arXiv:2602. 09639v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Denoising diffusion models (DDMs) are state-of-the-art methods for learning densities from data across numerous domains, yet many aspects of the training and sampling pipeline remain poorly understood.
arXiv:2606. 04324v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: One of the primary challenges in Bayesian inference on the parameters of a diffusion model from discrete observations is the unavailability of an analytical expression for the transition density function between consecutive observation times, which is needed to derive the likelihood function.
arXiv:2606. 18071v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Score-based diffusion models typically use Brownian perturbations, which provide tractable reverse-time dynamics but impose memoryless noising.
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.
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.
One of the primary challenges in Bayesian inference on the parameters of a diffusion model from discrete observations is the unavailability of an analytical expression for the transition density function between consecutive observation times, which is needed to derive the likelihood function. Extending previous studies that solve Fokker-Planck (FP) type partial differential equations with Normalizing Flows, we propose a new Normalizing Flow architecture to learn the transition density function of the diffusion process between two observation times.
arXiv:2605. 17232v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Discrete diffusion has become a leading framework for generative modeling in various applications including language, vision, and biology.
arXiv:2310. 05264v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this work, we investigate an intriguing and prevalent phenomenon of diffusion models which we term as "consistent model reproducibility": given the same starting noise input and a deterministic sampler, different diffusion models often yield remarkably similar outputs.
arXiv:2606. 03820v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a quantitative approximation framework for diffusion distillation, viewing few-step sampling as error propagation under compositions of learned flow maps.
arXiv:2509. 23937v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Diffusion models transform noise into data by injecting information that was captured in their neural network during the training phase.
