GeoSPRINT: Geometric Redundancy-Aware Step Pruning for Inference in Diffusion Trajectories
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.

Improved off-policy training of diffusion samplers
The paper investigates training diffusion models to sample from distributions defined by unnormalized densities or energy functions. It benchmarks various diffusion-structured inference techniques, including simulation-based variational methods and off-policy approaches such as continuous generative flow networks, highlighting their relative strengths and challenging some prior claims. Additionally, the authors introduce a new exploration strategy for off-policy methods that employs local search in the target space with a replay buffer, demonstrating improved sample quality across multiple target distributions.
