A new research paper by Claire Boyer explores the dynamics of alpha-stable score-based generative models, proposing them as an alternative to traditional Brownian diffusion models. The study provides a theoretical analysis of these models, quantifying convergence in p-Wasserstein distance and examining factors like early stopping and score approximation. A key finding is that while both model types exhibit exponential decay in initialization errors for heavy-tailed targets, alpha-stable dynamics uniquely produce power-law tails, enabling better capture of extreme events when the tail index matches the model's alpha parameter.
