Real data offers new path for aligning diffusion models

Researchers have explored using real-world images as a source for aligning diffusion models, moving beyond traditional methods that rely on model-generated preference pairs. This new approach constructs preference signals by contrasting real images with generated or perturbed samples, avoiding the need for manual annotations. The study indicates that this real-data-based supervision is effective, achieving performance comparable to existing preference-based alignment techniques and suggesting a practical, label-efficient alternative for guiding generative models.

IMPACT This research offers a more practical and label-efficient method for aligning diffusion models, potentially improving the quality and controllability of generated images.

    When Preference Labels Fall Short: Aligning Diffusion Models from Real Data

    Preference alignment aims to guide generative models by learning from comparisons between preferred and non-preferred samples. In practice, most existing approaches rely on preference pairs constructed from model-generated images. Such supervision is inherently relative and can b…
