A Derivations of Variance Controlled Diffusion

Neural Information Processing Systems

A.1 Proof of Proposition 4.1 Proposition 4.1 For any bounded measurable function τ(t): [0, T ] R, the following Reverse SDEs [ (1 + τ Eq. (20) is a reverse-time SDE running[ from T to 0, thus (there)are two additional minus ] signs in Eq. (21) before term A.2 Two Reparameterizations and Exact Solution under Exponential Integrator In this subsection, we will show the exact solution of SDE in both data prediction reparameterization and noise prediction reparameterization. The noise term in data prediction has smaller variance than noise prediction ones, implying the necessity of adopting data prediction reparameterization for the SDE sampler. The computation of variance uses the Itô Isometry, which is a crucial fact of Itô integral. Similar with Proposition 4.2, Eq. (37) can be solved analytically, which is shown in the following propositon: Following the derivation in Proposition 4.2, the mean of the Itô integral term is: [ A.2.4 Comparison between Data and Noise Reparameterizations In Table 1 we perform an ablation study on data and noise reparameterizations, the experiment results show that under the same magnitude of stochasticity, the proposed SA-Solver in data reparameterization has a better convergence which leads to better FID results under the same NFEs. In this subsection, we provide a theoretical view of this phenomenon.


SA-Solver: Stochastic Adams Solver for Fast Sampling of Diffusion Models

Neural Information Processing Systems

Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DPMs) have achieved considerable success in generation tasks. As sampling from DPMs is equivalent to solving diffusion SDE or ODE which is time-consuming, numerous fast sampling methods built upon improved differential equation solvers are proposed.
