Does Uniform Discrete Diffusion Need Time?
Chunsan Hong, Chieh-Hsin Lai, Satoshi Hayakawa +3
Uniform discrete diffusion models (UDMs) commonly use explicit time conditioning, but we find that it can often be unnecessary in practice. In this paper, we first show that the po…
Spectral Prior for Reducing Exposure Bias in Diffusion Models
Yuya Kobayashi, Masato Ishii, Yuhta Takida +2
Diffusion models typically suffer from error accumulation during iterative sampling, commonly referred to as exposure bias. We reveal systematic frequency-dependent discrepancies b…
From Atoms to Entropy: Optimal Noise Allocation for Diffusion Training in the Convex Regime
Luca Ambrogioni, Giulio Franzese, Alberto Foresti +7
How should a diffusion model decide which noise levels to train on, and how much? Despite the importance of this choice, current noise schedules are based largely on heuristics or…
TILDE: TILt-based Distributional Erasure for Concept Unlearning
Naveen George, Naoki Murata, Yuhta Takida +2
Concept unlearning in text-to-image diffusion models is critical for safe and practical deployment: with rising privacy concerns, copyright disputes, trademark constraints, and saf…
Spatio-Temporal Audio Language Modeling for Dynamic Sound Sources
Oh Hyun-Bin, Kazuki Shimada, Yuhta Takida +6
Sound events are entities with semantic identities, locations, and trajectories, but current audio-language models usually reason about clips as global event content. Conversely, s…
Efficient Reinforcement for Visual-Textual Thinking with Discrete Diffusion Model
Yoonjeon Kim, Yuhta Takida, Chieh-Hsin Lai +2
RL-based post-training has been widely adopted to enable interleaved visual and textual reasoning in unified multimodal models capable of both text and image generation. However, m…
Understanding and Accelerating the Training of Masked Diffusion Language Models
Chunsan Hong, Sanghyun Lee, Chieh-Hsin Lai +5
Masked diffusion models (MDMs) have emerged as a promising alternative to autoregressive models (ARMs) for language modeling. However, MDMs are known to learn substantially more sl…
A Unified View of Score-Based and Drifting Models
Chieh-Hsin Lai, Bac Nguyen, Naoki Murata +5
Drifting models train one-step generators by optimizing a kernel-induced mean-shift discrepancy between the data and model distributions, with Laplace kernels used by default in pr…
Improved Object-Centric Diffusion Learning with Registers and Contrastive Alignment
Bac Nguyen, Yuhta Takida, Naoki Murata +4
Slot Attention (SA) with pretrained diffusion models has recently shown promise for object-centric learning (OCL), but suffers from slot entanglement and weak alignment between obj…
Noise Scheduling as Information-Guided Allocation in Diffusion Training
Gabriel Raya, Bac Nguyen, Georgios Batzolis +6
We introduce InfoNoise, an online adaptive noise schedule for diffusion training that reallocates optimization effort toward noise levels where denoising is most informative. Toget…
GUDA: Counterfactual Group-wise Training Data Attribution for Diffusion Models via Unlearning
Naoki Murata, Yuhta Takida, Chieh-Hsin Lai +4
Training-data attribution for vision generative models aims to identify which training data influenced a given output. While most methods score individual examples, practitioners o…
