New training method boosts diffusion model robustness against data contamination

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new training method for diffusion models that enhances their robustness against data contamination. By replacing the standard Mean Squared Error (MSE) denoising loss with a transformation derived from f-divergences, the models show improved performance under corrupted datasets. This approach, termed divergence-induced weighted denoising, uses sample-specific influence weights to suppress errors from contaminated data, leading to better results on benchmarks like CIFAR-10.

    Robust Diffusion Models via Divergence-Induced Weighted Denoising

    We show that replacing the standard MSE denoising loss in diffusion models with a nonlinear transformation induced by an f-divergence yields a simple robust training surrogate that empirically improves performance under data contamination, with small additional computational over…
