MCLR: Improving Conditional Modeling via Inter-Class Likelihood-Ratio Maximization and Unifying Classifier-Free Guidance with Alignment Objectives
Xiang Li, Yixuan Jia, Xiao Li +3
Diffusion models achieve strong performance in generative modeling, but their success often relies heavily on classifier-free guidance (CFG), an inference-time heuristic that modif…
