Appendix A Extended Background 16 A.1 Continuous noise diffusion 16 A.2 Categorical noise diffusion 17 B Methodological Details

Neural Information Processing Systems 

In this section we provide full descriptions of the diffusion processes introduced in Sec. 3. A.1 Continuous noise diffusion The forward process is defined by noise variances. We use the cosine variance schedule from Nichol and Dhariwal [55].
