• Authors: Minshuo Chen, Kaixuan Huang, Tuo Zhao, Mengdi Wang
• Abstract summary: This paper studies score approximation, estimation, and distribution recovery of diffusion models, when data are supported on an unknown low-dimensional linear subspace. We show that with a properly chosen neural network architecture, the score function can be both accurately approximated and efficiently estimated. The generated distribution based on the estimated score function captures the data geometric structures and converges to a close vicinity of the data distribution.

• Abstract: Diffusion models achieve state-of-the-art performance in various generation tasks. However, their theoretical foundations fall far behind. This paper studies score approximation, estimation, and distribution recovery of diffusion models, when data are supported on an unknown low-dimensional linear subspace. Our result provides sample complexity bounds for distribution estimation using diffusion models. We show that with a properly chosen neural network architecture, the score function can be both accurately approximated and efficiently estimated. Furthermore, the generated distribution based on the estimated score function captures the data geometric structures and converges to a close vicinity of the data distribution. The convergence rate depends on the subspace dimension, indicating that diffusion models can circumvent the curse of data ambient dimensionality.

• Diffusion Attribution Score: Evaluating Training Data Influence in Diffusion Model [22.39558434131574]
  Existing data attribution methods for diffusion models typically quantify the contribution of a training sample. We argue that the direct usage of diffusion loss cannot represent such a contribution accurately due to the calculation of diffusion loss. We aim to measure the direct comparison between predicted distributions with an attribution score to analyse the training sample importance.

  Diffusion processes are prone to generating samples that reflect biases in a training dataset. We develop constrained diffusion models by imposing diffusion constraints based on desired distributions.
