• Abstract summary: Diffusion models have emerged as a powerful framework for generative modeling, achieving state-of-the-art performance across various tasks. They face several inherent limitations, including a training-sampling gap, information leakage in the progressive noising process, and the inability to incorporate advanced loss functions like perceptual and adversarial losses during training. We propose an innovative end-to-end training framework that aligns the training and sampling processes by directly optimizing the final reconstruction output.

• Abstract: Diffusion models have emerged as a powerful framework for generative modeling, achieving state-of-the-art performance across various tasks. However, they face several inherent limitations, including a training-sampling gap, information leakage in the progressive noising process, and the inability to incorporate advanced loss functions like perceptual and adversarial losses during training. To address these challenges, we propose an innovative end-to-end training framework that aligns the training and sampling processes by directly optimizing the final reconstruction output. Our method eliminates the training-sampling gap, mitigates information leakage by treating the training process as a direct mapping from pure noise to the target data distribution, and enables the integration of perceptual and adversarial losses into the objective. Extensive experiments on benchmarks such as COCO30K and HW30K demonstrate that our approach consistently outperforms traditional diffusion models, achieving superior results in terms of FID and CLIP score, even with reduced sampling steps. These findings highlight the potential of end-to-end training to advance diffusion-based generative models toward more robust and efficient solutions.

  One main bottleneck in training large-scale diffusion models for generation lies in effectively learning these representations. We study this by introducing a straightforward regularization called REPresentation Alignment (REPA), which aligns the projections of noisy input hidden states in denoising networks with clean image representations obtained from external, pretrained visual encoders. The results are striking: our simple strategy yields significant improvements in both training efficiency and generation quality when applied to popular diffusion and flow-based transformers, such as DiTs and SiTs.

  Diffusion models are known for their tremendous ability to generate novel and high-quality samples. Recent approaches for memory mitigation either only focused on the text modality problem in cross-modal generation tasks or utilized data augmentation strategies. We propose a novel training framework for diffusion models from the perspective of visual modality, which is more generic and fundamental for mitigating memorization.
