Are First-Order Diffusion Samplers Really Slower? A Fast Forward-Value Approach
Yuchen Jiao, Na Li, Changxiao Cai +1
Higher-order ODE solvers have become a standard tool for accelerating diffusion probabilistic model (DPM) sampling, motivating the widespread view that first-order methods are inhe…
Breaking AR's Sampling Bottleneck: Provable Acceleration via Diffusion Language Models
Gen Li, Changxiao Cai
Diffusion models have emerged as a powerful paradigm for modern generative modeling, demonstrating strong potential for large language models (LLMs). Unlike conventional autoregres…
Dimension-Free Convergence of Diffusion Models for Approximate Gaussian Mixtures
Gen Li, Changxiao Cai, Yuting Wei
Diffusion models are distinguished by their exceptional generative performance, particularly in producing high-quality samples through iterative denoising. While current theory sug…
Minimax Optimality of the Probability Flow ODE for Diffusion Models
Changxiao Cai, Gen Li
Score-based diffusion models have become a foundational paradigm for modern generative modeling, demonstrating exceptional capability in generating samples from complex high-dimens…
