• Abstract: The emergence of various notions of ``consistency'' in diffusion models has garnered considerable attention and helped achieve improved sample quality, likelihood estimation, and accelerated sampling. Although similar concepts have been proposed in the literature, the precise relationships among them remain unclear. In this study, we establish theoretical connections between three recent ``consistency'' notions designed to enhance diffusion models for distinct objectives. Our insights offer the potential for a more comprehensive and encompassing framework for consistency-type models.

  We conduct a systematic comparison and theoretical analysis of different approaches to learning conditional probability distributions with score-based diffusion models. We prove results which provide a theoretical justification for one of the most successful estimators of the conditional score. We introduce a multi-speed diffusion framework, which leads to a new estimator for the conditional score, performing on par with previous state-of-the-art approaches.

• Improving the Reconstruction of Disentangled Representation Learners via Multi-Stage Modeling [55.28436972267793]
  Current autoencoder-based disentangled representation learning methods achieve disentanglement by penalizing the ( aggregate) posterior to encourage statistical independence of the latent factors. We present a novel multi-stage modeling approach where the disentangled factors are first learned using a penalty-based disentangled representation learning method. Then, the low-quality reconstruction is improved with another deep generative model that is trained to model the missing correlated latent variables.
