The paper introduces a measure‑theoretic definition of outliers based on the distribution of log‑likelihood values, ensuring that low‑likelihood events receive higher probability mass with a controllable magnitude. It shows how likelihood reweighting scales the diffusion score via the Radon‑Nikodym derivative, allowing the reverse‑time dynamics of a diffusion model to be modified without retraining. Using the Ornstein‑Uhlenbeck semigroup, the authors propose an exponentially interpolated controller that approximates the true control, enabling controlled generation of low‑likelihood samples that respect the data geometry.

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:2607. 08757v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Score matching controls average error under the forward marginals, but a discretized reverse-time sampler evaluates the learned score along its own trajectory.
