New MFlow parameterization enhances pixel diffusion models

Researchers have introduced MFlow, an adaptive parameterization for pixel-space diffusion models that learns to interpolate between clean image prediction and velocity prediction. This approach aims to improve generative performance across various datasets, including ImageNet and UCF-101, by adapting to data representation and model capacity. To address a persistent high-frequency deficit in generated images, the study also proposes ConvRefiner, a lightweight convolutional module that restores high-frequency statistics post-hoc without altering the diffusion backbone.

    Rethinking the design space of Vanilla Pixel Diffusion Transformers

    arXiv:2610.23854v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Pixel-space diffusion models have recently re-emerged as a compelling alternative to latent diffusion, avoiding the lossy latent bottleneck and separately trained autoencoder. JiT shows that a vanilla diffusion transformer can gen…
