arXiv:2310.05264v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this work, we investigate an intriguing and prevalent phenomenon of diffusion models which we term as "consistent model reproducibility": given the same starting noise input and a deterministic sampler, different diffusion models often yield remarkably similar outputs. We confirm this phenomenon through comprehensive experiments, implying that different diffusion models consistently reach the same data distribution and scoring function regardless of diffusion model frameworks, model architectures, or training procedures. More strikingly, o
This research builds on the rapid advancements and widespread adoption of diffusion models, making an investigation into their fundamental properties timely and relevant for future development.
The reproducibility and generalizability of diffusion models across different architectures and training methods suggest a convergence towards fundamental data distributions, which could simplify model development and improve reliability.
This understanding shifts the focus from complex architectural innovations to potentially more fundamental aspects of data representation and the learning process itself for diffusion models.
