Diffusion Crossover: Defining Evolutionary Recombination in Diffusion Models via Noise Sequence Interpolation

arXiv:2604.14790v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC) provides a powerful framework for optimizing subjective criteria such as human preferences and aesthetics, yet it suffers from a fundamental limitation: in high-dimensional generative representations, defining crossover in a semantically consistent manner is difficult, often leading to a mutation-dominated search. In this work, we explicitly define crossover in diffusion models. We propose Diffusion crossover, which formulates evolutionary recombination as step-wise interpolation of noise sequences i
