• Abstract: Generative diffusion processes are an emerging and effective tool for image and speech generation. In the existing methods, the underline noise distribution of the diffusion process is Gaussian noise. However, fitting distributions with more degrees of freedom, could help the performance of such generative models. In this work, we investigate other types of noise distribution for the diffusion process. Specifically, we show that noise from Gamma distribution provides improved results for image and speech generation. Moreover, we show that using a mixture of Gaussian noise variables in the diffusion process improves the performance over a diffusion process that is based on a single distribution. Our approach preserves the ability to efficiently sample state in the training diffusion process while using Gamma noise and a mixture of noise.

  suboptimal noise-data mapping leads to slow training of diffusion models. Drawing inspiration from the immiscibility phenomenon in physics, we propose Immiscible Diffusion. Our approach is remarkably simple, requiring only one line of code to restrict the diffuse-able area for each image.

  We propose a DiffGMM model, a denoising model based on the diffusion and Gaussian mixture models. Given a noisy audio signal, we first apply a 1D-U-Net to extract features and train linear layers to estimate parameters for the Gaussian mixture model. The noisy signal is continuously subtracted from the estimated noise to output clean audio signals.

  Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are challenging to train stably. We propose Diffusion-GAN, a novel GAN framework that leverages a forward diffusion chain to generate instance noise. We show that Diffusion-GAN can produce more realistic images with higher stability and data efficiency than state-of-the-art GANs.

  Diffusion-based generative models learn how to generate the data by inferring a reverse diffusion chain. We propose a faster and cheaper approach that adds noise not until the data become pure random noise. We show that the proposed model can be cast as an adversarial auto-encoder empowered by both the diffusion process and a learnable implicit prior.
