Mechanisms of Projective Composition of Diffusion Models
Arwen Bradley, Preetum Nakkiran, David Berthelot +2
We study the theoretical foundations of composition in diffusion models, with a particular focus on out-of-distribution extrapolation and length-generalization. Prior work has show…

Target Concrete Score Matching: A Holistic Framework for Discrete Diffusion
Ruixiang Zhang, Shuangfei Zhai, Yizhe Zhang +4
Discrete diffusion is a promising framework for modeling and generating discrete data. In this work, we present Target Concrete Score Matching (TCSM), a novel and versatile objecti…

Composition and Control with Distilled Energy Diffusion Models and Sequential Monte Carlo
James Thornton, Louis Bethune, Ruixiang Zhang +3
Diffusion models may be formulated as a time-indexed sequence of energy-based models, where the score corresponds to the negative gradient of an energy function. As opposed to lear…
