• Authors: Alex M. Tseng, Nathaniel Diamant, Tommaso Biancalani, Gabriele Scalia
• Abstract summary: We develop a novel formulation of a family of discrete diffusion kernels which are easily adjustable to converge to different Bernoulli priors. We show that the quality of generated graphs is sensitive to the prior used, and that the optimal choice cannot be explained by statistics or metrics.

• Abstract: Diffusion models have achieved state-of-the-art performance in generating many different kinds of data, including images, text, and videos. Despite their success, there has been limited research on how the underlying diffusion process and the final convergent prior can affect generative performance; this research has also been limited to continuous data types and a score-based diffusion framework. To fill this gap, we explore how different discrete diffusion kernels (which converge to different prior distributions) affect the performance of diffusion models for graphs. To this end, we developed a novel formulation of a family of discrete diffusion kernels which are easily adjustable to converge to different Bernoulli priors, and we study the effect of these different kernels on generative performance. We show that the quality of generated graphs is sensitive to the prior used, and that the optimal choice cannot be explained by obvious statistics or metrics, which challenges the intuitions which previous works have suggested.

  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.

  Rectified flow is a novel class of generative models that enforces a linear progression from the source to the target distribution. We show that rectified flow approaches surpass in terms of generation quality and efficiency, requiring fewer inference steps. Our method also displays competitive performance in image inversion and editing.
