• Abstract: As Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) has proven effective in conditional diffusion model sampling for improved condition alignment, many applications use a negated CFG term to filter out unwanted features from samples. However, simply negating CFG guidance creates an inverted probability distribution, often distorting samples away from the marginal distribution. Inspired by recent advances in conditional diffusion models for inverse problems, here we present a novel method to enhance negative CFG guidance using contrastive loss. Specifically, our guidance term aligns or repels the denoising direction based on the given condition through contrastive loss, achieving a nearly identical guiding direction to traditional CFG for positive guidance while overcoming the limitations of existing negative guidance methods. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach effectively removes undesirable concepts while maintaining sample quality across diverse scenarios, from simple class conditions to complex and overlapping text prompts.

  We revisit the theory behind CFG and rigorously confirm that the improper configuration of the combination coefficients (i.e., the widely used summing-to-one version) brings about expectation shift of the generative distribution. We propose ReCFG with a relaxation on the guidance coefficients such that denoising with ReCFG strictly aligns with the diffusion theory. That way the rectified coefficients can be readily pre-computed via traversing the observed data, leaving the sampling speed barely affected.

  We present the first performance guarantee with explicit dimensional general score-mismatched diffusion samplers. We show that score mismatches result in an distributional bias between the target and sampling distributions, proportional to the accumulated mismatch between the target and training distributions. This result can be directly applied to zero-shot conditional samplers for any conditional model, irrespective of measurement noise.

  We present underlinePrototypical contrastive learning through underlineAlignment and underlineUniformity for recommendation. Specifically, we first propose prototypes as a latent space to ensure consistency across different augmentations from the origin graph. The absence of explicit negatives means that directly optimizing the consistency loss between instance and prototype could easily result in dimensional collapse issues.

  We propose Point-Cloud Contrastive Adversarial Training (PointCAT) to boost the robustness of point cloud recognition models. We leverage a supervised contrastive loss to facilitate the alignment and uniformity of the hypersphere features extracted by the recognition model. To provide the more challenging corrupted point clouds, we adversarially train a noise generator along with the recognition model from the scratch.
