Correcting Guided Diffusion Trajectories with Spectral Alignment
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.02753v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The practical success of conditional image generation hinges on fine-grained differences in condition alignment and visual fidelity. Classifier-free guidance (CFG) is central to this success, but its lack of an explicit criterion makes it difficult to assess whether the guided trajectory is progressing as intended. To address this gap, we show that spectral alignment provides a principled criterion for understanding guidance behavior and improving guided diffusion sampling through adaptive correction. Our analysis identifies the spectra of inte
