Diffusion models (DMs) are a state-of-the-art generative method to approximately sample from an unknown distribution. Their training and evaluation primarily rely on an Evidence Lower Bound (ELBO), which relates the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence of model samples to the score m…
Benign overfitting and double descent have come to shape our understanding of generalization in deep learning, establishing that overfitting is not only compatible with good generalization but can actively benefit it. Diffusion models share much of the machinery of standard deep…
