• Abstract summary: We study the local geometry of the learned manifold and its relationship to generation outcomes for a wide range of generative models. We provide quantitative and qualitative evidence showing that for a given latent-image pair, the local descriptors are indicative of generation aesthetics, diversity, and memorization by the generative model.

• Abstract: Deep Generative Models are frequently used to learn continuous representations of complex data distributions using a finite number of samples. For any generative model, including pre-trained foundation models with Diffusion or Transformer architectures, generation performance can significantly vary across the learned data manifold. In this paper we study the local geometry of the learned manifold and its relationship to generation outcomes for a wide range of generative models, including DDPM, Diffusion Transformer (DiT), and Stable Diffusion 1.4. Building on the theory of continuous piecewise-linear (CPWL) generators, we characterize the local geometry in terms of three geometric descriptors - scaling ($\psi$), rank ($\nu$), and complexity/un-smoothness ($\delta$). We provide quantitative and qualitative evidence showing that for a given latent-image pair, the local descriptors are indicative of generation aesthetics, diversity, and memorization by the generative model. Finally, we demonstrate that by training a reward model on the local scaling for Stable Diffusion, we can self-improve both generation aesthetics and diversity using `geometry reward' based guidance during denoising.

  Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have shown remarkable success in modeling complex data distributions for image-to-image translation. Existing GAN compression methods mainly rely on knowledge distillation or convolutional classifiers' pruning techniques. We propose a new approach by explicitly encouraging the pruned model to preserve the density structure of the original parameter-heavy model on its learned manifold. Our experiments on image translation GAN models, Pix2Pix and CycleGAN, with various benchmark datasets and architectures demonstrate our method's effectiveness.

  Deep neural networks achieve superior performance for learning from independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) data. However, their performance deteriorates significantly when handling out-of-distribution (OoD) data. We develop a simple yet effective method called Generative Interpolation to fuse generative models trained from multiple domains for synthesizing diverse OoD samples.

  Deep generative models have demonstrated successful applications in learning non-linear data distributions through a number of latent variables. The nonlinearity of the generator implies that the latent space shows an unsatisfactory projection of the data space, which results in poor representation learning. We show that geodesics and accurate computation can substantially improve the performance of deep generative models.
