Align Your Steps
Overview :
Align Your Steps is a method for optimizing the sampling time schedule of diffusion models (DMs). This approach utilizes stochastic calculus to find specific optimal sampling time schedules for different solvers, well-trained DMs, and datasets. It optimizes time discretization, i.e., sampling scheduling, by minimizing the KLUB term, thus improving the output quality within the same computation budget. This method performs exceptionally well in image, video, and 2D toy data synthesis benchmark tests, with optimized sampling schedules outperforming previously manually crafted schedules in almost all experiments.
Target Users :
["For researchers and developers who need to improve the quality of generative model outputs while maintaining real-time applicability","For professionals in the fields of visual domains like image synthesis, video synthesis, and 3D generation who are seeking more efficient sampling methods","Providing an approach to enhance model performance for enterprises and research institutions in the AI field"]
