Likelihood Matching for Diffusion Models

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

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.

From Score Learning to Discretized Sampling: An End-to-End Generalization Analysis of Diffusion Models

arXiv:2607. 23226v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite the empirical success of score-based diffusion models, a complete theoretical understanding of how finite-sample learning, network parameterization, and numerical discretization jointly dictate generative quality remains underdeveloped.
