Diffusion models generalize well in practice. However, an optimal diffusion model fully memorizes the training data and therefore fails to generalize, raising the question of what induces generalization in a real diffusion model. We show…
Diffusion models have become the most popular approach to deep generative modeling of images, largely due to their empirical performance and reliability. From a theoretical standpoint, a number of recent works have studied the iteration…
