• Abstract: This work introduces InJecteD, a framework for interpreting Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) by analyzing sample trajectories during the denoising process of 2D point cloud generation. We apply this framework to three datasets from the Datasaurus Dozen bullseye, dino, and circle using a simplified DDPM architecture with customizable input and time embeddings. Our approach quantifies trajectory properties, including displacement, velocity, clustering, and drift field dynamics, using statistical metrics such as Wasserstein distance and cosine similarity. By enhancing model transparency, InJecteD supports human AI collaboration by enabling practitioners to debug and refine generative models. Experiments reveal distinct denoising phases: initial noise exploration, rapid shape formation, and final refinement, with dataset-specific behaviors example, bullseyes concentric convergence vs. dinos complex contour formation. We evaluate four model configurations, varying embeddings and noise schedules, demonstrating that Fourier based embeddings improve trajectory stability and reconstruction quality

  Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) represent a contemporary class of generative models with exceptional qualities.

  We present a differential equation that transforms a complex data distribution to a known prior distribution by injecting noise. A corresponding reverse-time SDE transforms the prior distribution back into the data distribution by slowly removing the noise. By leveraging advances in score-based generative modeling, we can accurately estimate these scores with neural networks. We demonstrate high fidelity generation of 1024 x 1024 images for the first time from a score-based generative model.
