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
-
The sampler stays DDIM. Every step must be a first-order DDIM update: one
predict_noisecall → 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_predpredictions 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.
-
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. -
Your contribution lives in the noise combination. Legal moves include (but are not limited to):
- New functional forms for how
noise_ucandnoise_care 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
- New functional forms for how

625 Rescaled CFG++ with Adaptive Variance-Preserving Guidance.
626
627 Key ideas:
628 1. Rescaled CFG: After standard CFG combination, rescale noise_pred to match
629 the channel-wise std of noise_c. This prevents oversaturation from high
630 guidance scales, which inflates variance and hurts FID.
631 2. CFG++ renoising: Use noise_uc for the renoising step to keep the sampling
632 trajectory closer to the data manifold.
633 3. Adaptive rescale strength: phi(t) varies with timestep - stronger rescaling
634 at high noise (early steps) to prevent oversat
