One-Step Residual Shifting Diffusion for Image Super-Resolution via Distillation

Daniil Selikhanovych, David Li, Aleksei Leonov +6

Diffusion models for super-resolution (SR) produce high-quality visual results but require expensive computational costs. Despite the development of several methods to accelerate d…

IDLM: Inverse-distilled Diffusion Language Models

David Li, Nikita Gushchin, Dmitry Abulkhanov +4

Diffusion Language Models (DLMs) have recently achieved strong results in text generation. However, their multi-step sampling leads to slow inference, limiting practical use. To ad…

Universal Inverse Distillation for Matching Models with Real-Data Supervision (No GANs)

Nikita Kornilov, David Li, Tikhon Mavrin +5

While achieving exceptional generative quality, modern diffusion, flow, and other matching models suffer from slow inference, as they require many steps of iterative generation. Re…

Uncertainty Quantification for Large Language Diffusion Models

Artem Vazhentsev, Vladislav Smirnov, David Li +3

Large Language Diffusion Models (LLDMs) are emerging as an alternative to autoregressive models, offering faster inference through higher parallelism. Similar to autoregressive LLM…

Diffusion & Adversarial Schrödinger Bridges via Iterative Proportional Markovian Fitting

Sergei Kholkin, Grigoriy Ksenofontov, David Li +6

The Iterative Markovian Fitting (IMF) procedure, which iteratively projects onto the space of Markov processes and the reciprocal class, successfully solves the Schrödinger Bridge…

Inverse Bridge Matching Distillation

Nikita Gushchin, David Li, Daniil Selikhanovych +3

Learning diffusion bridge models is easy; making them fast and practical is an art. Diffusion bridge models (DBMs) are a promising extension of diffusion models for applications in…
