ScoreMix: Synthetic Data Generation by Score Composition in Diffusion Models Improves Recognition

ScoreMix is a self‑contained synthetic data generation method that improves recognition tasks by mixing class‑conditioned scores along reverse diffusion trajectories, thereby creating hard synthetic samples without external resources. The approach shows that selecting classes far apart in the discriminator’s embedding space yields larger performance gains, up to 3% more improvement than proximity‑based selection. Across eight public face recognition benchmarks, ScoreMix boosts accuracy by up to 7 percentage points, demonstrating robustness and practicality without hyperparameter tuning.
