Diffusion models generate synthetic images through an iterative refinement process. However, the misalignment between the simulation-free objective and the iterative process often causes accumulated gradient error along the sampling…

Classifier-free guidance (CFG) has emerged as a pivotal advancement in text-to-image latent diffusion models, establishing itself as a cornerstone technique for achieving high-quality image synthesis. However, under high guidance weights,…

Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) is a cornerstone of modern text-to-image models, yet its reliance on a semantically vacuous null prompt ($\varnothing$) generates a guidance signal prone to geometric entanglement. This is a key factor…

Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) is essential for high-fidelity conditional generation in flow matching, yet it imposes significant computational overhead by requiring dual forward passes at each sampling step. In this work, we address this…

Guided or controlled data generation with diffusion models\blfootnote{Partial preliminary results of this work appeared in International Conference on Machine Learning 2025 \citep{li2025provable}.} has become a cornerstone of modern…

Classifier guidance is a recently introduced method to trade off mode coverage and sample fidelity in conditional diffusion models post training, in the same spirit as low temperature sampling or truncation in other types of generative…

The diffusion model presents a powerful ability to capture the entire (conditional) data distribution. However, due to the lack of sufficient training and data to learn to cover low-probability areas, the model will be penalized for failing…

Classifier free guidance is a standard method for conditional sampling in diffusion models, but its sampling rule is not aligned with the objective used in training. This mismatch induces a structural sampling error through the interaction…

Counterfactual generation aims to simulate realistic hypothetical outcomes under causal interventions. Diffusion models have emerged as a powerful tool for this task, combining DDIM inversion with conditional generation and classifier-free…

Temporal sequential tasks challenge humanoid robots, as existing Diffusion Policy (DP) and Action Chunking with Transformers (ACT) methods often lack temporal context, resulting in local optima traps and excessive repetitive actions. To…

Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) serves as the de facto control mechanism for conditional diffusion, yet high guidance scales notoriously induce oversaturation, texture artifacts, and structural collapse. We attribute this failure to a…
