Expressiveness Remarks for Denoising Diffusion Models and Samplers
share
Denoising diffusion models are a class of generative models which have recently achieved state-of-the-art results across many domains. Gradual noise is added to the data using a diffusion process, which transforms the data distribution into a Gaussian. Samples from the generative model are then obtained by simulating an approximation of the time reversal of this diffusion initialized by Gaussian samples. Recent research has explored adapting diffusion models for sampling and inference tasks. In this paper, we leverage known connections to stochastic control akin to the Föllmer drift to extend established neural network approximation results for the Föllmer drift to denoising diffusion models and samplers.
