arXiv:2605.07220v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Diffusion guidance is a powerful technique that enables controllable and high-fidelity sample generation with diffusion models. At a high level, it modifies the score function by incorporating a guidance term that steers the generative process toward a desired condition. Despite its empirical success, the theoretical properties of diffusion guidance remain largely unexplored, and it is not well understood why it consistently produces high-quality samples. In this work, we explain the effectiveness of diffusion guidance by establishing a robus
This paper offers a theoretical understanding of diffusion guidance, a technique with significant empirical success in contemporary AI. The timing aligns with the rapid advancement and deployment of generative AI models.
Understanding the theoretical underpinnings of powerful AI techniques like diffusion guidance is crucial for developing more robust, controllable, and efficient generative models. It moves the field from empirical success to principled design.
