New paper frames diffusion model inversion as a convex program

A new paper introduces a mathematical framework for understanding diffusion models, specifically focusing on the inversion process. The research demonstrates that a single implicit DDIM inversion step can serve as a convex program, revealing insights into the model's encoding of local manifold geometry. The paper details conditions under which the inversion solution is unique and identifies potential failure points for solvers, offering a theoretical basis for model calibration and error detection.

    One Inverse Step is a Convex Program: Bayes-Limit Calibration of Diffusion Inversion

    arXiv:2608.23094v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: One implicit DDIM inversion step is the cheapest probe of whether a pretrained diffusion model encodes local manifold geometry. It is the stationarity condition of an explicit potential, $x-G(x)=\nabla\Psi_t(x)$, strongly convex at …
