Researchers have identified a flaw in the common practice of using diffusion models for time series forecasting, where continued refinement at low noise levels can actually degrade forecast quality. The study proposes a new global stopping criterion that identifies the optimal termination point in the diffusion process, leading to faster inference and improved accuracy. Additionally, a Bernoulli timestep sampler is introduced to focus training on high-noise regions while still covering the full diffusion process, with experiments showing superior performance across multiple datasets.
