Diffusion Model: Classifier-Free Guidance Optimization

Objective

Improve text-to-image generation quality by designing a better classifier-free guidance formula. Your contribution should be a new way to combine noise_uc and noise_c (and optionally their history / derivatives) into a guided noise prediction — not a new numerical sampler.

Background

Classifier-free guidance (CFG) is a fundamental technique in diffusion models for text-guided generation. The standard CFG formula is:

noise_pred = noise_uc + cfg_guidance * (noise_c - noise_uc)

where noise_uc is the unconditional noise prediction and noise_c is the conditional (text-guided) noise prediction.

Standard CFG has known limitations:

  • Requires high guidance scales (typically 7.5-12.5)
  • Can cause mode collapse and saturation
  • Results in curved, unnatural sampling trajectories
  • Poor invertibility

Recent work (CFG++, Rescaled CFG, Perp-Neg, Interval CFG, Dynamic CFG, etc.) has shown that rethinking the guidance mechanism — while keeping the underlying sampler fixed — can substantially improve text-image alignment without regressing on sample quality.

Task

Redesign the guidance mechanism inside BaseDDIMCFGpp.sample() (SD v1.5) and BaseDDIMCFGpp.reverse_process() (SDXL). Your contribution must be a new way to compute the guided noise prediction from noise_uc and noise_c, not a new way to integrate the diffusion ODE.

Hard rules — read carefully

  1. The sampler stays DDIM. Every step must be a first-order DDIM update: one predict_noise call → Tweedie's formula → standard DDIM update rule (zt_next = alpha_next.sqrt() * z0t + (1 - alpha_next).sqrt() * noise_for_renoise). You may not:

    • switch to Euler / Heun / RK / DPM-Solver / DPM++ / UniPC / any higher-order or multistep numerical integrator
    • introduce history buffers of past denoised / noise_pred predictions to do polynomial extrapolation
    • add SDE Langevin noise terms
    • use adaptive step sizing This is not a sampler efficiency task — see cv-diffusion-efficiency if you want to design solvers.
  2. No image post-processing tricks. You may not apply dynamic thresholding, percentile clipping, amplitude clamping, momentum / EMA smoothing, or any per-sample normalization to z0t / zt. These change the output distribution but do not improve the guidance formula.

  3. Your contribution lives in the noise combination. Legal moves include (but are not limited to):

    • New functional forms for how noise_uc and noise_c are combined (e.g. rescaled CFG, perpendicular projection, std normalization)
    • Timestep-dependent guidance schedules (interval CFG, linear / cosine / piecewise schedules over t)
    • Using different predictions for the Tweedie step vs. the renoise step (CFG++ style asymmetry)
    • Multiple forward passes per step with different guidance scales, as

CFG++ renoising: use noise_uc (not noise_pred) for the renoise step,\n       keeping the sampling trajectory on the data manifold.\n    2. Rescaled CFG: after computing the guided noise prediction, rescale its\n       per-sample std to match the conditional prediction's std. This prevents\n       the guidance from inflating the noise magnitude (which causes color\n       saturation and artifacts that hurt FID).\n    3. Linear warmup: ramp guidance from 0 over the first K steps to avoid\n       early-step instability when noise levels are highest.\n    \"\"\"\n\n    def __init__(self,\n                 solver_config: Dict,\n                 model_key:str=\"runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5\",\n                 device: Optional[torch.device]=None,\n                 **kwargs):\n        super().__init__(solver_config, model_key, device, **kwargs)\n\n    @torch.autocast(device_type='cuda', dtype=torch.float16)\n    def sample(self,\n               cfg_guidance=7.5,\n               prompt=[\"\",\"\"],\n               callback_fn=None,\n               **kwargs):\n        # Method design parameters (hardcoded as part of algorithm)\n        cfg_guidance = 2.0      # Moderate guidance scale for CFG++ style\n        phi = 0.7               # Rescaling interpolation factor\n        K_warmup = 2            # Number of warmup steps (linear ramp from 0)\n\n        # Text embedding\n        uc, c = self.get_text_embed(null_prompt=prompt[0], prompt=prompt[1])\n\n        # Initialize zT\n        zt = self.initialize_latent()\n        zt = zt.requires_grad_()\n\n        num_steps = len(self.scheduler.timesteps)\n\n        # Sampling\n        pbar = tqdm(self.scheduler.timesteps, desc=\"SD\")\n        for step, t in enumerate(pbar):\n            at = self.alpha(t)\n            at_prev = self.alpha(t - self.skip)\n\n            with torch.no_grad():\n                noise_uc, noise_c = self.predict_noise(zt, t, uc, c)\n\n                # Linear warmup: ramp guidance from 0 to cfg_guidance over K_warmup steps\n                if step < K_warmup:\n                    w = cfg_guidance * (step / K_warmup)\n                else:\n                    w = cfg_guidance\n\n                # Guided noise prediction\n                noise_pred = noise_uc + w * (noise_c - noise_uc)\n\n                # Rescaled CFG: normalize std to match noise_c's std\n                # This prevents oversaturation from inflated noise magnitude\n                if w > 0:\n                    std_pred = noise_pred.std(dim=[1, 2, 3], keepdim=True)\n                    std_c = noise_c.std(dim=[1, 2, 3], keepdim=True)\n                    noise_pred = noise_pred * (std_c / (std_pred + 1e-8)) * phi + noise_pred * (1 - phi)\n\n            # Tweedie denoising with guided prediction\n            z0t = (zt - (1-at).sqrt() * noise_pred) / at.sqrt()\n\n            # CFG++ renoising: use noise_uc to stay on data manifold\n            zt = at_prev.sqrt() * z0t + (1-at_prev).sqrt() * noise_uc\n\n            if callback_fn is not None:\n                callback_kwargs = {'z0t': z0t.detach(),\n                                    'zt': zt.detach(),\n                                    'decode': self.decode}\n                callback_kwargs = callback_fn(step, t, callback_kwargs)\n                z0t = callback_kwargs[\"z0t\"]\n                zt = callback_kwargs[\"zt\"]\n\n        # for the last step, do not add noise"
