Research & Papers
Diffusion Bridges Fix Endpoint Underfitting via Noise Alignment
Diffusion bridge models suffer from underfitting near target distributions (t→0), degrading image restoration and translation quality. Authors identify and resolve this anomaly through noise alignment, directly improving practical restoration pipelines. Critical for anyone deploying diffusion-based image-to-image tasks in production.
