Diffusion model theory reveals DDIM's hallucination weakness

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new theoretical analysis examines hallucination phenomena in diffusion models, specifically comparing the Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM) and the Denoising Diffusion Implicit Model (DDIM). The study proves that DDIM can become stuck between modes after a critical time, while DDPM's inherent stochasticity helps it avoid this issue. The research suggests that introducing additional stochastic steps could improve DDIM's performance and reduce hallucinations. AI

IMPACT Provides theoretical insights into diffusion model behavior, potentially guiding the development of more robust generative models.

    Why DDIM Hallucinates More Than DDPM: A Theoretical Analysis of Reverse Dynamics

    arXiv:2605.06831v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We theoretically study the hallucination phenomena in two canonical diffusion samplers: the stochastic Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM) and the deterministic Denoising Diffusion Implicit Model (DDIM). We anal…
