Noise Scheduling as Information-Guided Allocation in Diffusion Training

arXiv CS.AI

We introduce InfoNoise, an online adaptive noise schedule for diffusion training that reallocates optimization effort toward noise levels where denoising is most informative. Together with loss weighting, a noise schedule induces an effective allocation across denoising problems, often fixed before informative noise levels are known. InfoNoise makes this allocation data-adaptive by estimating a conditional-entropy-rate profile from denoising losses during training, without auxiliary models or of
