Class-frequency Guided Noise Schedule for Diffusion Models
TL;DR
Diffusion models, which generate data by gradually adding noise, often struggle with class imbalance, where some classes are underrepresented. A new method called Class-frequency Guided Noise Schedule was developed to adjust the noise levels based on the frequency of each class in the training data.
✦ Why It Matters
Engineers can implement class-frequency adjustments in diffusion models to enhance performance on imbalanced datasets.
Key Takeaways
- Adopt CFRG noise schedule for better sample quality in low-frequency classes.
- Evaluate your models on imbalanced datasets to identify performance gaps.
- Adjust noise levels based on class frequency to improve score estimation.
- Conduct experiments to validate the effectiveness of noise schedule modifications.
How It Works
CFRG modifies the noise schedule by increasing noise levels for low-frequency classes, which helps mitigate the inaccuracies in score estimation that arise from low-density regions. This adjustment allows for a more balanced representation of all classes during the diffusion process, leading to improved sample quality and diversity.
