Mitigating the Contractivity Trap in Diffusion ODEs via Stein Stabilization

arXiv:2606. 07835v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A fundamental tension exists in the large-step inference of diffusion models via their deterministic probability flow ordinary differential equation (PF-ODE) trajectories, which we identify as the contractivity trap: efficient inference favors large step sizes, while aggressive steps and highly expressive denoisers can undermine contraction-based stability certificates for error suppression.

Riemannian Metric Matching for Scalable Geometric Modeling of Distributions

arXiv:2606. 14334v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: High-dimensional datasets often concentrate near low-dimensional structures, but estimating their geometry from samples typically relies on graphs and kernels that scale poorly with dataset size and dimension.
