A new arXiv paper by Juyan Zhang and colleagues explores the inherent heteroscedasticity in Denoising Score Matching (DSM), a technique widely used in generative models. The researchers demonstrate that DSM's objective function leads to unpredictable variance in model parameters, dependent on noise levels and data geometry. They propose an ideal weighting function to equalize this variance, creating a homoscedastic generalization of DSM, and also derive a practical approximation for training that reduces gradient variance.
