• Title: Rolling Diffusion Models
• Authors: David Ruhe, Jonathan Heek, Tim Salimans, Emiel Hoogeboom,
• Abstract summary: Rolling Diffusion is a new approach that uses a sliding window denoising process. It ensures that the diffusion process progressively corrupts through time by assigning more noise to frames that appear later in a sequence. Empirically, we show that when the temporal dynamics are complex, Rolling Diffusion is superior to standard diffusion.

• Abstract: Diffusion models have recently been increasingly applied to temporal data such as video, fluid mechanics simulations, or climate data. These methods generally treat subsequent frames equally regarding the amount of noise in the diffusion process. This paper explores Rolling Diffusion: a new approach that uses a sliding window denoising process. It ensures that the diffusion process progressively corrupts through time by assigning more noise to frames that appear later in a sequence, reflecting greater uncertainty about the future as the generation process unfolds. Empirically, we show that when the temporal dynamics are complex, Rolling Diffusion is superior to standard diffusion. In particular, this result is demonstrated in a video prediction task using the Kinetics-600 video dataset and in a chaotic fluid dynamics forecasting experiment.

  Diffusion-TS is a novel diffusion-based framework that generates time series samples of high quality. We train the model to directly reconstruct the sample instead of the noise in each diffusion step, combining a Fourier-based loss term. Results show that Diffusion-TS achieves the state-of-the-art results on various realistic analyses of time series.

  This work presents a decomposed diffusion process via resolving the per-frame noise into a base noise that is shared among all frames and a residual noise that varies along the time axis. Experiments on various datasets confirm that our approach, termed as VideoFusion, surpasses both GAN-based and diffusion-based alternatives in high-quality video generation.

  Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are challenging to train stably. We propose Diffusion-GAN, a novel GAN framework that leverages a forward diffusion chain to generate instance noise. We show that Diffusion-GAN can produce more realistic images with higher stability and data efficiency than state-of-the-art GANs.

  Diffusion-based generative models learn how to generate the data by inferring a reverse diffusion chain. We propose a faster and cheaper approach that adds noise not until the data become pure random noise. We show that the proposed model can be cast as an adversarial auto-encoder empowered by both the diffusion process and a learnable implicit prior.

• Come-Closer-Diffuse-Faster: Accelerating Conditional Diffusion Models for Inverse Problems through Stochastic Contraction [31.61199061999173]
  Diffusion models have a critical downside - they are inherently slow to sample from, needing few thousand steps of iteration to generate images from pure Gaussian noise. We show that starting from Gaussian noise is unnecessary. Instead, starting from a single forward diffusion with better initialization significantly reduces the number of sampling steps in the reverse conditional diffusion. New sampling strategy, dubbed ComeCloser-DiffuseFaster (CCDF), also reveals a new insight on how the existing feedforward neural network approaches for inverse problems can be synergistically combined with the diffusion models.
