abstract

Denoising diffusions are a powerful method to generate approximate samples from high-dimensional data distributions. Recent results provide polynomial bounds on their convergence rate, assuming $L^2$-accurate scores. Until now, the tightest bounds were either superlinear in the data dimension or required strong smoothness assumptions. We provide the first convergence bounds which are linear in the data dimension (up to logarithmic factors) assuming only finite second moments of the data distribution. We show that diffusion models require at most $\tilde O(\frac{d \log^2(1/\delta)}{\varepsilon^2})$ steps to approximate an arbitrary distribution on $\mathbb{R}^d$ corrupted with Gaussian noise of variance $\delta$ to within $\varepsilon^2$ in KL divergence. Our proof extends the Girsanov-based methods of previous works. We introduce a refined treatment of the error from discretizing the reverse SDE inspired by stochastic localization.

Adaptive Order Policies for Masked Diffusion

cs.LG · 2026-05-29 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A policy network learns to choose unmasking order in masked diffusion by reweighting the loss, outperforming random and heuristic baselines on ordering-sensitive tasks.

Discrete Stochastic Localization for Non-autoregressive Generation

cs.LG · 2026-02-18 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Discrete Stochastic Localization lets a single trained network support an entire family of per-token SNR paths for discrete sequence generation, with masked diffusion as a special case, and improves MAUVE scores when fine-tuning pretrained checkpoints.

Energy Generative Modeling: A Lyapunov-based Energy Matching Perspective

cs.LG · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Training and sampling in static scalar energy generative models are two instances of the same Lyapunov-driven density transport dynamics on Wasserstein space, differing only by initial condition, which yields a finite stopping criterion for Langevin sampling and additive composition rules that keep

Generating DDPM-based Samples from Tilted Distributions

cs.LG · 2026-04-03 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A plug-in estimator for tilted distributions is minimax-optimal, with Wasserstein closeness bounds to the true tilted distribution and TV-accuracy guarantees when running diffusion on the estimated samples.
