Learned End-to-End Guidance Schedules for Diffusion Models

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.01502v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion models are a powerful generative paradigm used across multimedia and scientific applications. Guided diffusion methods impose requirements on the generation by adding the gradient of a differentiable loss (the guidance function) as a drift term during inference. The weight of this drift (the guidance scale) is critical for the trade-off between data quality and requirement satisfaction. To achieve both of these goals, guided diffusion must resort to small guidance scales and lengthy sampling, incurring high computational costs. This work proposes learned end-to-end guidance schedules (LEEGS) to achieve these objectives with fewer sampling steps. LEEGS trains a time-dependent schedule by minimizing the guidance function over a small
