arXiv:2607.03770v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Prior studies have demonstrated that diffusion classifiers achieve robust zero-shot classification performance. However, their effectiveness is strongly tied to the pretraining data distribution: they perform well in majority, high-density regions of the data manifold, but are significantly less accurate in minority, low-density regions. Although prior works on minority sampling have focused on generating more minority-like images, what minority sampling fundamentally enables beyond generation remains underexplored. In this paper, we reveal a d
The proliferation of diffusion models enables new research into their inherent biases and limitations, leading to techniques for improving their robustness in real-world, imbalanced datasets.
Improving diffusion classifiers' performance in minority regions addresses a critical limitation for deploying AI in sensitive applications where underrepresented data points are vital.
Diffusion models can become more reliable and fair across diverse data distributions, potentially reducing bias and improving accuracy in real-world scenarios, particularly for rare events or underrepresented groups.
