Conditioning Degenerate Diffusion Models

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 3, 2026 · UTC

Current conditioned generative models heavily rely on score functions for guidance during training. When the generative model is a diffusion process with a singular diffusion coefficient and the underlying (conditional) densities either do not exist or are not smooth, we use causal optimal transport to define \emph{approximate} loss functions that identify a minimum-entropy control for guidance under minimal assumptions. Our approach relies on causal optimal transport and its characterization through the predictable representation property of (conditioned) diffusion processes whose associated
