This paper explores the challenges and benefits of a trainable destruction process in diffusion samplers -- diffusion-based generative models trained to sample an unnormalised density without access to data samples. Contrary to the majority…

In this paper, we propose Diffusion Domain Expansion (DDE), a method that efficiently extends pre-trained diffusion models to generate larger objects and handle more complex conditioning beyond their original capabilities. Our method…
