Evaluating the Representation Space of Diffusion Models via Self-Supervised Principles

arXiv:2606. 09718v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion models have demonstrated remarkable generative capabilities and have also emerged as powerful self-supervised representation learners, yet the connection between these two abilities remains less explored.

Noise in Diffusion Models Is a Learnable Input

The paper argues that the concrete random noise used in diffusion models is not merely a passive perturbation but a learnable input that can be exploited by the model. By analyzing how clean data and realized noise jointly form the noisy input, the authors show that the model can learn regularities in the data or in the noise structure, and that these two routes can interact. Experiments on MNIST and CIFAR‑10 using pseudorandom streams demonstrate that structured‑noise training can reduce prediction loss, but this advantage disappears when test noise is replaced with IID noise, indicating that the learned dependence is tied to the specific noise structure.
