arXiv:2512. 24152v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Sampling based on score diffusions has led to striking empirical results, and has attracted considerable attention from various research communities.
arXiv:2602. 15008v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion models over discrete spaces have recently shown striking empirical success, yet their theoretical foundations remain incomplete.
The paper proves that for discrete diffusion models using uniform or remasking forward processes, an adaptive sampler based on a leave‑one‑out denoiser can achieve sampling error proportional to the score‑estimation error plus a small tolerance. The required number of discretization steps scales with the dual total correlation of the target distribution, not directly with the ambient dimension. This result shows that sampling complexity is governed by the intrinsic dependence structure of the distribution, and the authors provide an information‑theoretic analysis linking discretization error to mutual information between coordinates.
arXiv:2506. 13061v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion probabilistic models generate samples by learning to reverse a noise-injection process that transforms data into noise.
arXiv:2501. 12982v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: This paper investigates how diffusion generative models leverage (unknown) low-dimensional structure to accelerate sampling.
