Researchers have explored the connection between Föllmer processes and denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPMs), finding that discretizing Föllmer processes can yield optimal hyper-parameter settings for DDPM samplers. This approach has led to improved error bounds in terms of Wasserstein distance and KL divergence. Additionally, a new method called Forward-Learned Discrete Diffusion (FLDD) has been proposed, which learns the noising process to enable faster, few-step generation of high-quality samples. AI
