Researchers have developed new methods to improve the estimation of the Fréchet Inception Distance (FID), a common metric for evaluating generative models. The study establishes tight bounds for the empirical plug-in estimator, revealing a sample complexity of approximately $d^2$. To address this, they propose an extrapolation method of arbitrary order and introduce Relative Taylor Debiasing (RTD), a computationally efficient algorithm that achieves an optimal sample complexity of $O(d / \epsilon^2)$. Experiments show RTD achieves lower estimation error on ImageNet with standard sample budgets, and another proposed estimator, VALE$_2$, matches FID$_\infty$'s accuracy with significantly fewer samples.
