MMD Guidance: Training-Free Distribution Adaptation for Diffusion Models via Maximum Mean Discrepancy Guidance

arXiv:2601. 08379v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Pre-trained diffusion models have emerged as powerful generative priors for both unconditional and conditional sample generation, yet their outputs often deviate from the characteristics of user-specific target data.

Fenchel Tilting: Weighted Correction for Efficient Finetuning of Generative Models

Fenchel Tilt Flow Control (FTFC) is a new method for fine‑tuning pretrained generative models to arbitrary preference functions. It decouples utility optimization from model fitting by first learning reward and density‑ratio weights on pretrained samples, then freezing these weights to adjust a diffusion or flow model in a single importance‑weighted stage. The approach supports general f‑divergence penalties, achieves exact duality for concave utilities, and demonstrates up to 20× efficiency gains while outperforming baselines on image and molecule generation tasks.

Distribution-Conditioned Transport

The paper introduces Distribution‑Conditioned Transport (DCT), a framework that learns transport maps conditioned on embeddings of source and target distributions, allowing generalization to unseen distribution pairs. DCT supports semi‑supervised learning for distributional forecasting by leveraging distributions observed at only one condition. It is agnostic to the transport mechanism and is demonstrated on synthetic benchmarks and four biological applications, including batch effect transfer in single‑cell genomics and modeling T‑cell receptor sequence evolution.
