论文摘要
标准扩散模型涉及图像转换 - 添加高斯噪声 - 以及逆转此降解的图像恢复操作员。我们观察到，扩散模型的生成行为并不是很大程度上取决于图像降解的选择，实际上，可以通过改变这种选择来构建整个生成模型家族。即使使用完全确定性的降解（例如，模糊，掩蔽等），构成扩散模型的训练和测试时间更新规则也可以很容易地概括为创建生成模型。这些完全确定的模型的成功使社区对扩散模型的理解质疑，这依赖于梯度Langevin动力学或变异推理中的噪声，并为反转任意过程的广义扩散模型铺平了道路。我们的代码可从https://github.com/arpitbansal297/cold-diffusion-models获得
Standard diffusion models involve an image transform -- adding Gaussian noise -- and an image restoration operator that inverts this degradation. We observe that the generative behavior of diffusion models is not strongly dependent on the choice of image degradation, and in fact an entire family of generative models can be constructed by varying this choice. Even when using completely deterministic degradations (e.g., blur, masking, and more), the training and test-time update rules that underlie diffusion models can be easily generalized to create generative models. The success of these fully deterministic models calls into question the community's understanding of diffusion models, which relies on noise in either gradient Langevin dynamics or variational inference, and paves the way for generalized diffusion models that invert arbitrary processes.
