Greed is Good: A Unifying Perspective on Guided Generation
Researchers have unified two families of training-free guided generation techniques for flow and diffusion models. They demonstrate that posterior guidance can be viewed as a greedy approach to end-to-end guidance. This theoretical unification allows for an interpolation between the two methods, offering a trade-off between computational cost and accuracy in gradient calculations. The findings were validated on inverse image problems and property-guided molecular generation. AI
