• Authors: Jiaming Song, Chenlin Meng, Stefano Ermon
• Abstract summary: We present denoising diffusion implicit models (DDIMs) for iterative implicit probabilistic models with the same training procedure as DDPMs. DDIMs can produce high quality samples $10 times$ to $50 times$ faster in terms of wall-clock time compared to DDPMs.

• Abstract: Denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPMs) have achieved high quality image generation without adversarial training, yet they require simulating a Markov chain for many steps to produce a sample. To accelerate sampling, we present denoising diffusion implicit models (DDIMs), a more efficient class of iterative implicit probabilistic models with the same training procedure as DDPMs. In DDPMs, the generative process is defined as the reverse of a Markovian diffusion process. We construct a class of non-Markovian diffusion processes that lead to the same training objective, but whose reverse process can be much faster to sample from. We empirically demonstrate that DDIMs can produce high quality samples $10 \times$ to $50 \times$ faster in terms of wall-clock time compared to DDPMs, allow us to trade off computation for sample quality, and can perform semantically meaningful image interpolation directly in the latent space.

  Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPM) have recently gained significant attention. DDPMs generate high-quality samples from complex data distributions by defining an inverse process. Unlike generative adversarial networks (GANs), the latent space of diffusion models is less interpretable. In this work, we propose to generalize the denoising diffusion process into an Upsampling Diffusion Probabilistic Model (UDPM)

  We propose a novel conditional diffusion model by introducing conditions into the forward process.

We formulate our method, which we call textbfShiftDDPMs, and provide a unified point of view on existing related methods.

  We present MMD-DDM, a novel method for fast sampling of diffusion models. Our approach is based on the idea of using the Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) to finetune the learned distribution with a given budget of timesteps. Our findings show that the proposed method is able to produce high-quality samples in a fraction of the time required by widely-used diffusion models.

  Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) have achieved impressive performance on various generation tasks. In practice DDPMs often need hundreds even thousands of denoising steps to obtain a high-quality sample. We propose a principled acceleration strategy, referred to as Early-Stopped DDPM (ES-DDPM), for DDPMs.

• Improved Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models [4.919647298882951]
  We show that DDPMs can achieve competitive log-likelihoods while maintaining high sample quality. We also find that learning variances of the reverse diffusion process allows sampling with an order of magnitude fewer forward passes. We show that the sample quality and likelihood of these models scale smoothly with model capacity and training compute, making them easily scalable.
