NoiseRater: Meta-Learned Noise Valuation for Diffusion Model Training
Quick summary
arXiv:2605.08144v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Training a diffusion model involves two sources of randomness for each data sample: the timestep and the Gaussian noise realization. The timestep has been studied extensively through scheduling and weighting, whereas the impact of the noise realization at a given timestep is still underexplored. In this work, we examine whether different noise instances are equally informative. We introduce NoiseRater, a network that scores an individual noise instance conditioned on the data sample and timestep. The rater is learned through bilevel opt
