Derives a conditional-marginal entropy-rate objective for bridge-aware discretization that yields U-shaped schedules and improves low-NFE sample quality on 2D, CIFAR-10, and protein tasks.

Z²-Sampling implicitly realizes zero-cost zigzag trajectories for curvature-aware semantic alignment in diffusion models by reducing multi-step paths via operator dualities and temporal caching while synthesizing a directional derivative penalty.
A survey that groups efficient video diffusion methods into four paradigms—step distillation, efficient attention, model compression, and cache/trajectory optimization—and outlines open challenges for practical use.
SANTS adaptively chooses denoising depth in video-based robot action diffusion policies using a state-dependent stopping hazard and noise ratio, trained via downstream action reward to reduce latency.
Instance-level sampling schedules optimized via REINFORCE with James-Stein estimator improve text-to-image alignment and allow 5-step Flux generation to match deliberately distilled samplers.
