Diffusion Domain Expansion: Learning to Coordinate Pre-trained Diffusion Models

arXiv:2605.23275v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we propose Diffusion Domain Expansion (DDE), a method that efficiently extends pre-trained diffusion models to generate larger objects and handle more complex conditioning beyond their original capabilities. Our method employs a compact trainable network designed to coordinate the denoised outputs of pre-trained diffusion models. We demonstrate that the coordinator can be universally simple while being capable of generalizing to domains larger than those observed during its training time. We evaluate DDE on long audio track generat

Why this matters
Why now

Advances in AI research are continuously pushing the boundaries of what pre-trained models can achieve, with an increasing focus on efficiency and scalability in diverse applications.

Why it’s important

This development allows existing complex AI models to be extended for new, larger, or more intricate tasks without costly retraining, significantly enhancing their utility and reducing resource consumption.

What changes

Pre-trained diffusion models can now be adapted for expanded domain generation and more complex conditioning, making them more versatile and powerful for various applications like long audio generation.
