• Abstract: We propose decoupled diffusion models (DDMs) for high-quality (un)conditioned image generation in less than 10 function evaluations. In a nutshell, DDMs decouple the forward image-to-noise mapping into \textit{image-to-zero} mapping and \textit{zero-to-noise} mapping. Under this framework, we mathematically derive 1) the training objectives and 2) for the reverse time the sampling formula based on an analytic transition probability which models image to zero transition. The former enables DDMs to learn noise and image components simultaneously which simplifies learning. Importantly, because of the latter's analyticity in the \textit{zero-to-image} sampling function, DDMs can avoid the ordinary differential equation-based accelerators and instead naturally perform sampling with an arbitrary step size. Under the few function evaluation setups, DDMs experimentally yield very competitive performance compared with the state of the art in 1) unconditioned image generation, \textit{e.g.}, CIFAR-10 and CelebA-HQ-256 and 2) image-conditioned downstream tasks such as super-resolution, saliency detection, edge detection, and image inpainting.

  We propose an approach to distilling classifier-free guided diffusion models into models that are fast to sample from. For standard diffusion models trained on the pixelspace, our approach is able to generate images visually comparable to that of the original model. For diffusion models trained on the latent-space (e.g., Stable Diffusion), our approach is able to generate high-fidelity images using as few as 1 to 4 denoising steps.
