• Abstract: Diffusion Models have demonstrated remarkable performance in image generation. However, their demanding computational requirements for training have prompted ongoing efforts to enhance the quality of generated images through modifications in the sampling process. A recent approach, known as Discriminator Guidance, seeks to bridge the gap between the model score and the data score by incorporating an auxiliary term, derived from a discriminator network. We show that despite significantly improving sample quality, this technique has not resolved the persistent issue of Exposure Bias and we propose SEDM-G++, which incorporates a modified sampling approach, combining Discriminator Guidance and Epsilon Scaling. Our proposed approach outperforms the current state-of-the-art, by achieving an FID score of 1.73 on the unconditional CIFAR-10 dataset.

  Diffusion models excel in many image reconstruction tasks that involve inverse problems based on a forward measurement operator. We propose a novel Bayesian conditioning technique for diffusion models, BCDM, based on score-functions associated with the conditional distribution of desired images. We show state-of-the-art performance in image dealiasing, deblurring, super-resolution, and inpainting with the proposed technique.

• Compensation Sampling for Improved Convergence in Diffusion Models [12.311434647047427]
  Diffusion models achieve remarkable quality in image generation, but at a cost. Iterative denoising requires many time steps to produce high fidelity images. We argue that the denoising process is crucially limited by an accumulation of the reconstruction error due to an initial inaccurate reconstruction of the target data.

We present a conditional denoising diffusion model, which includes a sequence encoder, a cross-attentive denoising decoder, and a step-wise diffuser.

  We introduce a new perceptron bias assumption that suggests discriminator models are more sensitive to certain features of the input, leading to the overconfidence problem. We demonstrate that the diffusion denoising process (DDP) of DMs serves as a novel form of asymmetric, which is well-suited to enhance the input and mitigate the overconfidence problem. Our experiments on CIFAR10, CIFAR100, and ImageNet show that our method outperforms SOTA approaches.
