Discrete Diffusion Models: Theoretical Framework Unveiled

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

This paper delves into the theoretical underpinnings of discrete diffusion models, exploring what they learn by analyzing their objective functions. The research introduces the "Oracle Distance" theorem, which posits that the negative ELBO is precisely the data entropy plus the path KL divergence between the oracle reverse process and the learned one. This framework allows for the exact conversion between different parameterizations like denoisers, cavity predictors, and score functions, and explains discrepancies observed in various diffusion model implementations.

    What Does a Discrete Diffusion Model Learn?

    What does a discrete diffusion model learn: a denoiser, a score ratio, or a bridge plug-in predictor? At the level of jump rates, these are one object in different coordinates, and reading a neural network in the wrong coordinate changes the process being trained and sampled. Sta…
