New research offers Gaussian perspective on diffusion model discrepancy

This paper introduces a new analytical method for measuring and improving distributional discrepancy in generative diffusion models. The research focuses on multivariate Gaussian sources, deriving a closed-form trajectory for the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence between source and reverse-sampled data. Using asymptotic analysis, the study identifies a noise schedule based on a tangent law derived from the source covariance spectrum, demonstrating that Gaussian sources have an extremal property for KL divergence. The derived analytical KL divergence is then applied to optimize time discretization strategies for diffusion models, showing superior performance over existing methods, especially under limited computational budgets.
