A Sharp KL-Convergence Analysis for Diffusion Models under Minimal Assumptions
Nishant Jain, Tong Zhang
Diffusion-based generative models have emerged as highly effective methods for synthesizing high-quality samples. Recent works have focused on analyzing the convergence of their ge…
Almost Linear Convergence under Minimal Score Assumptions: Quantized Transition Diffusion
Xunpeng Huang, Yingyu Lin, Nikki Lijing Kuang +4
Continuous diffusion models have demonstrated remarkable performance in data generation across various domains, yet their efficiency remains constrained by two critical limitations…
Faster Sampling via Stochastic Gradient Proximal Sampler
Xunpeng Huang, Difan Zou, Yi-An Ma +2
Stochastic gradients have been widely integrated into Langevin-based methods to improve their scalability and efficiency in solving large-scale sampling problems. However, the prox…
Reverse Transition Kernel: A Flexible Framework to Accelerate Diffusion Inference
Xunpeng Huang, Difan Zou, Hanze Dong +3
To generate data from trained diffusion models, most inference algorithms, such as DDPM, DDIM, and other variants, rely on discretizing the reverse SDEs or their equivalent ODEs. I…
Faster Sampling without Isoperimetry via Diffusion-based Monte Carlo
Xunpeng Huang, Difan Zou, Hanze Dong +2
To sample from a general target distribution beyond the isoperimetric condition, Huang et al. (2023) proposed to perform sampling through reverse diffusion, g…
