On Distillation of Guided Diffusion Models

2 code implementations CVPR 2023 Chenlin Meng, Robin Rombach, Ruiqi Gao, Diederik P. Kingma, Stefano Ermon, Jonathan Ho, Tim Salimans

For standard diffusion models trained on the pixel-space, our approach is able to generate images visually comparable to that of the original model using as few as 4 sampling steps on ImageNet 64x64 and CIFAR-10, achieving FID/IS scores comparable to that of the original model while being up to 256 times faster to sample from.

Novel View Synthesis with Diffusion Models

no code implementations6 Oct 2022 Daniel Watson, William Chan, Ricardo Martin-Brualla, Jonathan Ho, Andrea Tagliasacchi, Mohammad Norouzi

We demonstrate that stochastic conditioning significantly improves the 3D consistency of a naive sampler for an image-to-image diffusion model, which involves conditioning on a single fixed view.

Classifier-Free Diffusion Guidance

6 code implementations26 Jul 2022 Jonathan Ho, Tim Salimans

Classifier guidance is a recently introduced method to trade off mode coverage and sample fidelity in conditional diffusion models post training, in the same spirit as low temperature sampling or truncation in other types of generative models.

We introduce Differentiable Diffusion Sampler Search (DDSS): a method that optimizes fast samplers for any pre-trained diffusion model by differentiating through sample quality scores.

Optimizing Few-Step Diffusion Samplers by Gradient Descent

no code implementations ICLR 2022 Daniel Watson, William Chan, Jonathan Ho, Mohammad Norouzi

We propose Generalized Gaussian Diffusion Processes (GGDP), a family of non-Markovian samplers for diffusion models, and we show how to improve the generated samples of pre-trained DDPMs by optimizing the degrees of freedom of the GGDP sampler family with respect to a perceptual loss.
