DiFA: Inference-Time Forward-Process Alignment for Diffusion Models
Shigui Li, Delu Zeng
The prevailing inference framework for diffusion models formulates generation fundamentally as a problem of numerical integration. This perspective casts the model as an exact esti…
Implicit Variational Rejection Sampling
Jian Xu, Shigui Li, Wei Chen +6
Variational Inference (VI) is a fundamental inference technique in Bayesian machine learning for approximating complex posterior distributions. Traditional VI often relies on the m…
Mitigating the Contractivity Trap in Diffusion ODEs via Stein Stabilization
Shigui Li, Delu Zeng
A fundamental tension exists in the large-step inference of diffusion models via their deterministic probability flow ordinary differential equation (PF-ODE) trajectories, which we…
Local-Time Riemannian Score Matching on the Quantum Pure-State Manifold
Jian Xu, Wei Chen, Shigui Li +4
Score-based diffusion can be defined intrinsically on the manifold of quantum pure states, with the Fubini--Study metric, but no closed-form transition density…
A Minimum Variance Path Principle for Accurate and Stable Score-Based Density Ratio Estimation
Wei Chen, Jiacheng Li, Shigui Li +4
Score-based methods are powerful across machine learning, but they face a paradox: theoretically path-independent, yet practically path-dependent. We resolve this by proving that p…
Consist-Retinex: One-Step Noise-Emphasized Consistency Training Accelerates High-Quality Retinex Enhancement
Jian Xu, Wei Chen, Shigui Li +3
Retinex-based low-light image enhancement benefits from separating reflectance and illumination, yet recent generative approaches often rely on iterative sampling and are difficult…
EVODiff: Entropy-aware Variance Optimized Diffusion Inference
Shigui Li, Wei Chen, Delu Zeng
Diffusion models (DMs) excel in image generation but suffer from slow inference and training-inference discrepancies. Although gradient-based solvers for DMs accelerate denoising i…
Diffusion Secant Alignment for Score-Based Density Ratio Estimation
Wei Chen, Shigui Li, Jiacheng Li +6
Estimating density ratios has become increasingly important with the recent rise of score-based and diffusion-inspired methods. However, current tangent-based approaches rely on a…
Dequantified Diffusion-Schr{ö}dinger Bridge for Density Ratio Estimation
Wei Chen, Shigui Li, Jiacheng Li +3
Density ratio estimation is fundamental to tasks involving -divergences, yet existing methods often fail under significantly different distributions or inadequately overlapping…
Flexible Bayesian Last Layer Models Using Implicit Priors and Diffusion Posterior Sampling
Jian Xu, Zhiqi Lin, Shigui Li +4
Bayesian Last Layer (BLL) models focus solely on uncertainty in the output layer of neural networks, demonstrating comparable performance to more complex Bayesian models. However,…
Entropy-Informed Weighting Channel Normalizing Flow for Deep Generative Models
Wei Chen, Shian Du, Shigui Li +2
Normalizing Flows (NFs) are widely used in deep generative models for their exact likelihood estimation and efficient sampling. However, they require substantial memory since the l…
SciRE-Solver: Accelerating Diffusion Models Sampling by Score-integrand Solver with Recursive Difference
Shigui Li, Wei Chen, Delu Zeng
Diffusion models (DMs) have made significant progress in the fields of image, audio, and video generation. One downside of DMs is their slow iterative process. Recent algorithms fo…
