The proposed Score identity Distillation (SiD) method can distill the generative capabilities of pretrained diffusion models into a single-step generator, achieving exponentially fast reduction in Fréchet inception distance (FID) during distillation and surpassing the FID performance of the original teacher diffusion models.
Zusammenfassung
The paper introduces Score identity Distillation (SiD), an innovative data-free method that distills the generative capabilities of pretrained diffusion models into a single-step generator. Key highlights:
- SiD facilitates an exponentially fast reduction in Fréchet inception distance (FID) during distillation and approaches or even exceeds the FID performance of the original teacher diffusion models.
- By reformulating forward diffusion processes as semi-implicit distributions, the authors leverage three score-related identities to create an innovative loss mechanism. This mechanism achieves rapid FID reduction by training the generator using its own synthesized images, eliminating the need for real data or reverse-diffusion-based generation.
- Evaluation across four benchmark datasets (CIFAR-10, ImageNet 64x64, FFHQ 64x64, and AFHQv2 64x64) demonstrates the high iteration efficiency of the SiD algorithm during distillation, surpassing competing distillation approaches in terms of generation quality.
- The authors' PyTorch implementation will be publicly accessible on GitHub.
