Non Gaussian Denoising Diffusion Models
Eliya Nachmani, Robin San Roman, Lior Wolf
Generative diffusion processes are an emerging and effective tool for image and speech generation. In the existing methods, the underline noise distribution of the diffusion process is Gaussian noise. However, fitting distributions with more degrees of freedom, could help the performance of such generative models. In this work, we investigate other types of noise distribution for the diffusion process. Specifically, we show that noise from Gamma distribution provides improved results for image and speech generation. Moreover, we show that using a mixture of Gaussian noise variables in the diffusion process improves the performance over a diffusion process that is based on a single distribution. Our approach preserves the ability to efficiently sample state in the training diffusion process while using Gamma noise and a mixture of noise.
