StrideDiffusion: Accelerating Diffusion Models for Time-series Generation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2607. 20545v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion models have become competitive generators for time series, but their practical use is limited by the large number of sequential denoising steps required at inference time.

GeoSPRINT: Geometric Redundancy-Aware Step Pruning for Inference in Diffusion Trajectories

GeoSPRINT is a training‑free framework that constructs non‑uniform sampling schedules for diffusion model inference by detecting geometrically redundant steps in denoising trajectories. It uses a hyperplanarity test in latent space, implemented via QR factorization, to allocate more steps to high‑curvature regions, and introduces the trajectory projection score α_traj as a model‑free diagnostic for flow quality. Across CIFAR‑10, LSUN Church, and Stable Diffusion v1.5, GeoSPRINT consistently outperforms uniform DDIM schedules at matched NFE budgets, improving FID scores by up to 1.93 points.

Clock Diffusion: Efficient Semi-Autoregressive Continuous Diffusion Language Models

The paper introduces Clock Diffusion, a framework for semi‑autoregressive continuous diffusion language models that incorporates position‑dependent noise schedules, efficient training, and sampling algorithms. It presents two generation modes—block and sliding window—and defines ClockDLMs, a family of Gaussian models that achieve state‑of‑the‑art diffusion likelihoods on OpenWebText and outperform continuous baselines on GSM8K while matching or exceeding discrete diffusion models. The authors also propose Cache Grab, a set of efficient samplers that adapt accelerated inference techniques from discrete diffusion to further improve model quality and efficiency.
