arXiv:2606.08309v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Score-based generative models have had remarkable success over the last decade in generating a diverse set of visually plausible images. A variety of architectures including CNNs, U-Nets, and Transformers have been used as the score-approximation network in such diffusion modeling; however, to date, relatively little is known about how these architectural choices impact generative behavior. In this work, to provide insight into this area, we propose an analytically solvable parameterization of the score function using an expansion in a 2D orthogo
This research addresses a growing need to better understand and optimize the underlying mechanisms of generative AI models, which are at the forefront of current AI development.
Improved theoretical understanding of diffusion models can lead to more efficient, controllable, and robust generative AI, impacting various industries that rely on image synthesis and content creation.
The focus shifts towards a deeper, mathematical understanding of score functions in diffusion models, potentially leading to new architectural designs or optimization strategies that deviate from current empirical trends.
