iADD: Improving Alignment and Diversity in Diffusion Policy Optimization
Quick summary
arXiv:2610.01789v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reinforcement learning based post training of diffusion models, such as Denoising Diffusion Policy Optimization (DDPO), optimizes a reverse diffusion process under a reward function. However, current approaches to reward optimizations do so at the cost of diversity and quality. In this paper, we provide better tradeoffs through careful theoretical considerations and method design. We analyze the theoretical framework and mathematically demonstrate that \emph{only-latter timestep} updates of diffusion model may be harmful for diversity contrary
