DASH: Dual-Branch Score Distillation for Guidance-Calibrated Compact Diffusion Models

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2606. 00798v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Parameter compression of class-conditional diffusion models reveals an underexplored limitation in output-level distillation: the unconditional score branch remains unsupervised, leaving the classifier-free guidance gap underdetermined in the student.

Rethinking Classifier-Free Guidance in On-Policy Diffusion Distillation

arXiv:2607. 24731v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) adapts diffusion models by querying a teacher along trajectories generated by the current student, but how it should behave under classifier-free guidance (CFG), a default component of modern diffusion systems, remains poorly understood.

Trajectory-Refined Distillation

arXiv:2606. 08432v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) has become a central post-training tool for large language models (LLMs), providing dense per-token teacher supervision along the student's own rollouts.

Single-Channel Tissue Segmentation via Cross-Modal Distillation from Foundation Models

arXiv:2606. 00928v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multiplexed fluorescence microscopy improves tissue segmentation by providing complementary channels including nuclear (DAPI) and membrane (E-cadherin), that together encode richer spatial context than single-channel imaging alone.

Uni-OPD: Unifying On-Policy Distillation with a Dual-Perspective Recipe

arXiv:2605. 03677v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: On-policy distillation (OPD) has recently emerged as an effective post-training paradigm for consolidating the capabilities of specialized expert models into a single student model.
