Reinforcing the Diffusion Chain of Lateral Thought with Diffusion Language Models

Zemin Huang, Zhiyang Chen, Zijun Wang +2

We introduce the Diffusion Chain of Lateral Thought (DCoLT), a reasoning framework for diffusion language models. DCoLT treats each intermediate step in the reverse diffusion proce…

Self-Guidance: Boosting Flow and Diffusion Generation on Their Own

Tiancheng Li, Weijian Luo, Zhiyang Chen +2

Proper guidance strategies are essential to achieve high-quality generation results without retraining diffusion and flow-based text-to-image models. Existing guidance either requi…

Schedule On the Fly: Diffusion Time Prediction for Faster and Better Image Generation

Zilyu Ye, Zhiyang Chen, Tiancheng Li +3

Diffusion and flow matching models have achieved remarkable success in text-to-image generation. However, these models typically rely on the predetermined denoising schedules for a…

InstructRL4Pix: Training Diffusion for Image Editing by Reinforcement Learning

Tiancheng Li, Jinxiu Liu, Huajun Chen +1

Instruction-based image editing has made a great process in using natural human language to manipulate the visual content of images. However, existing models are limited by the qua…
