Generalization, memorization, and overfitting for diffusion models trained in the lazy high-dimensional regime

The paper investigates diffusion models trained in a lazy high‑dimensional regime, extending benign overfitting theory to generative settings. By analyzing denoising score matching in a vector‑valued RKHS with an inner‑product kernel, the authors derive exact risk trajectories under gradient flow when the number of samples scales proportionally with dimensionality. These trajectories reveal three distinct phases—spectral generalization, noise‑dominated interpolation, and empirical Bayes memorization—whose interplay shapes the distribution of generated samples.

WaveletDiff: Multilevel Wavelet Diffusion For Time Series Generation

WaveletDiff is a diffusion-based framework that generates time series by training directly on wavelet coefficients, leveraging multi-resolution structure through level‑specific transformers and cross‑level attention with adaptive gating. The model incorporates Parseval‑theorem‑based energy constraints to preserve time‑frequency properties during diffusion. Experiments on six real‑world datasets from energy, finance, and neuroscience show that WaveletDiff outperforms several diffusion baselines and competes with the VAE/transformer‑based MSDformer, achieving lower discriminative and Context‑FID scores while using fewer parameters and less training time.
