DiffusionOPD applies online policy distillation from per-task teachers to a unified diffusion student, with a derived closed-form per-step KL objective that unifies SDE and ODE sampling via mean matching.
CCVFM uses an entropic Sinkhorn coreset to induce a closed-form Gaussian mixture source for hierarchical rectified flow matching, then trains a lightweight correction flow on the residual, achieving competitive few-step image generation.
A short teacher-alignment repair stage between structured pruning and one-step distillation yields a 20% pruned one-step generator that improves FID from 3.53 to 3.12 on ImageNet-512 while reducing NFE from 63 to 1.
SOM is an actor-critic algorithm that constructs the target velocity field for one-step MeanFlow policies directly from the Q-function via score estimation and probability flow ODE, achieving claimed SOTA on locomotion tasks with reduced training and inference time.
A hierarchical variational formulation amortizes test-time guidance in diffusion models to achieve strong quality-speed tradeoffs with significantly reduced inference compute.
Reconstruction of global 1.5 km resolution 10 m vector winds in tropical cyclone inner cores from sparse CYGNSS scalar observations using generalized score-based diffusion assimilation plus three TC boundary-layer constraints.
AsymTalker uses temporal reference encoding and asymmetric knowledge distillation to produce identity-consistent talking head videos up to 600 seconds long at 66 FPS.
PRPO is a paragraph-level policy optimization technique that grounds vision-language model reasoning in image content to raise deepfake detection accuracy and reasoning quality.
SharpEuler estimates a sharpness profile via finite differences on calibration trajectories, smooths it, and applies a quantile transform to generate adaptive timestep grids that improve Euler sampling quality in flow matching models at fixed budgets.
BADiff introduces joint training of diffusion models with quality conditioning derived from bandwidth to enable adaptive early-stop sampling that preserves appropriate perceptual quality.
A tutorial that unifies diffusion probabilistic models, score-based generative modeling, and SDE methods by deriving forward and reverse dynamics from a shared Gaussian noising process.
