Latent Diffusion-GAN (LD‑GAN) integrates adversarial learning into diffusion models by using the pretrained VAE as an energy‑based discriminator, avoiding extra parameters and preserving the latent priors. It introduces a structural consistency energy to align encoder and decoder features, improving perceptual quality. Experiments show LD‑GAN enhances sample fidelity, sharpness, and diversity across generation tasks while maintaining efficient training dynamics.
Pixel diffusion models generate RGB images directly but tend to miss fine‑scale natural‑image statistics. The authors introduce an adversarial post‑training step that adds an adversarial loss to the model’s output at non‑high‑noise timesteps, without changing the architecture or sampling procedure. This approach improves distribution fidelity, coverage, prompt alignment, and perceptual quality across two pixel backbones, and restores missing high‑frequency spectral power while avoiding memorization or mode dropping.

EmbeddGAN introduces a new GAN framework that replaces the traditional discriminator with an embedding network trained to maximize statistical dependence between embeddings and real/fake labels using Gini distance correlation (gCor). The generator simultaneously minimizes this dependence, encouraging real and generated samples to become indistinguishable in the learned low‑dimensional embedding space. Experiments on MNIST, CIFAR‑10, and CelebA show competitive performance and notably more stable training dynamics compared to established baselines.

PAPT++ is a risk‑aware adversarial generation‑training framework designed to improve single domain generalization. It learns diverse semantic reference images per class and uses them as denoising targets in classifier‑guided diffusion synthesis, thereby generating challenging yet semantically consistent samples. These samples are iteratively combined with source data to update the classifier, progressively exposing it to difficult variations and enhancing generalization performance on standard benchmarks.

Consistent Distribution Matching is a data‑free distillation technique that accelerates diffusion and flow models by unifying sample generation and score estimation in a single student network. The method requires only a frozen teacher and a trainable student, optimizing a single objective that provably leads to Wasserstein convergence of the student’s flow‑map to the teacher’s marginals. On ImageNet 256×256, it achieves an FID of 2.04 with one function evaluation and 1.37 with four evaluations after just 40 training epochs, outperforming existing data‑free baselines.
