Energy-Conditioned Noise Schedule and Whitening for Spectral Diffusion
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.07206v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper introduces an energy-adaptive noise scheduling and whitening strategy for transform-domain diffusion models. Existing spectral diffusion methods account for the non-uniform statistics of transform coefficients through coefficient scaling, normalization, or frequency prioritization, while the forward diffusion noise schedule remains largely independent of the underlying spectral-energy distribution. We investigate whether the temporal evolution of the forward diffusion process should also follow the spectral organization of natural imag

Why it matters
“Energy-Conditioned Noise Schedule and Whitening for Spectral Diffusion” highlights the need for repeatable measurement rather than a single impressive demonstration. Independent validation across datasets and clearly stated limitations determine whether a result can guide product decisions.
