Uniform Diffusion Models Revisited: Leave-One-Out Denoiser and Absorbing State Reformulation

Samson Gourevitch, Yazid Janati, Dario Shariatian +4

Discrete diffusion models are often trained through clean-data prediction, but the prediction can be used in different ways to define the reverse dynamics. In Masked Diffusion Mode…

When Test-Time Guidance Is Enough: Fast Image and Video Editing with Diffusion Guidance

Ahmed Ghorbel, Badr Moufad, Navid Bagheri Shouraki +5

Text-driven image and video editing can be naturally cast as inpainting problems, where masked regions are reconstructed to remain consistent with both the observed content and the…
