Class-frequency Guided Noise Schedule for Diffusion Models

arXiv:2606.27696v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we are the first to examine the correlations between class frequency and the multi-scale noise schedule within diffusion models. For score-based generative models, low-density regions often lead to inaccurately estimated scores, thereby compromising the generation quality. Although the multi-scale noise schedule can alleviate this issue during the diffusion process, low-frequency classes still face the challenge of large low-density regions, resulting in more inaccurate estimated scores than high-frequency classes. Furthermore, hig

Why this matters
Why now

This research emerges as diffusion models become a dominant paradigm in generative AI, necessitating refined control and quality for diverse applications.

Why it’s important

Improved diffusion model performance, especially for 'low-frequency' or rare data, is critical for robust and unbiased AI systems across various domains.

What changes

Diffusion models can now be fine-tuned to more effectively handle imbalanced datasets, leading to higher quality and more reliable generative outputs.
