• Abstract: Diffusion Models are a potent class of generative models capable of producing high-quality images. However, they often inadvertently favor certain data attributes, undermining the diversity of generated images. This issue is starkly apparent in skewed datasets like CelebA, where the initial dataset disproportionately favors females over males by 57.9%, this bias amplified in generated data where female representation outstrips males by 148%. In response, we propose a plug-and-play method named Manifold Guidance Sampling, which is also the first unsupervised method to mitigate bias issue in DDPMs. Leveraging the inherent structure of the data manifold, this method steers the sampling process towards a more uniform distribution, effectively dispersing the clustering of biased data. Without the need for modifying the existing model or additional training, it significantly mitigates data bias and enhances the quality and unbiasedness of the generated images.

  Diffusion models trained on real-world datasets often yield inferior fidelity for tail classes. Deep generative models, including diffusion models, are biased towards classes with abundant training images. We propose a method based on contrastive learning to minimize the overlap between distributions of synthetic images for different classes.

  We propose IBADR, an Iterative Bias-Aware dataset Refinement framework. We first train a shallow model to quantify the bias degree of samples in the pool. Then, we pair each sample with a bias indicator representing its bias degree, and use these extended samples to train a sample generator. In this way, this generator can effectively learn the correspondence relationship between bias indicators and samples.

  Existing models such as Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPM) deliver high-quality, diverse samples but are slowed by an inherently high number of iterative steps. We introduce a novel approach that tackles the problem by matching implicit and explicit factors. We demonstrate that our proposed method obtains comparable generative performance to diffusion-based models and vastly superior results to models with a small number of sampling steps.
