<h3 id="21-单步与闭式表达">2.1 单步与闭式表达</h3>
<p>DDPM forward 是一条 <strong>Markov chain</strong></p>
<p>$$q(x_t | x_{t-1}) = \mathcal{N}(x_t;\; \sqrt{1-\beta_t}\, x_{t-1},\; \beta_t I), \quad t = 1, \dots, T$$</p>
<p>定义 $\alpha_t = 1 - \beta_t$$\bar\alpha_t = \prod_{s=1}^t \alpha_s$。<strong>关键性质</strong>$q(x_t | x_0)$ 是 <strong>闭式 Gaussian</strong>——可以一步从 $x_0$ 跳到任意 $t$(训练效率的核心):</p>
<p>$$\boxed{\; q(x_t | x_0) = \mathcal{N}\!\left(x_t;\; \sqrt{\bar\alpha_t}\, x_0,\; (1-\bar\alpha_t) I\right) \;}$$</p>
<p>等价 reparameterization</p>
<p>$$x_t = \sqrt{\bar\alpha_t}\, x_0 + \sqrt{1-\bar\alpha_t}\, \epsilon, \quad \epsilon \sim \mathcal{N}(0, I)$$</p>
<h3 id="22-闭式推导必考会反复出现">2.2 闭式推导(必考,会反复出现)</h3>
<p>由 reparameterization $x_t = \sqrt{\alpha_t} x_{t-1} + \sqrt{\beta_t} z_t$$z_t \sim \mathcal{N}(0, I)$ 独立。递推:</p>
<p>$$ \begin{aligned} x_t &= \sqrt{\alpha_t} x_{t-1} + \sqrt{\beta_t} z_t \\ &= \sqrt{\alpha_t}\left(\sqrt{\alpha_{t-1}} x_{t-2} + \sqrt{\beta_{t-1}} z_{t-1}\right) + \sqrt{\beta_t} z_t \\ &= \sqrt{\alpha_t \alpha_{t-1}}\, x_{t-2} + \underbrace{\sqrt{\alpha_t \beta_{t-1}} z_{t-1} + \sqrt{\beta_t} z_t}_{\text{独立 Gaussian 之和}} \end{aligned} $$</p>
<p>两个独立 Gaussian 之和的方差:$\alpha_t \beta_{t-1} + \beta_t = \alpha_t(1 - \alpha_{t-1}) + (1 - \alpha_t) = 1 - \alpha_t \alpha_{t-1}$。所以可以合并成单个 Gaussian $\sqrt{1 - \alpha_t \alpha_{t-1}}\, \bar z$。归纳到 $t$ 步:</p>
<p>$$x_t = \sqrt{\bar\alpha_t}\, x_0 + \sqrt{1 - \bar\alpha_t}\, \epsilon$$</p>
<div class="callout callout-info"><div class="callout-title">变分 trick 直觉</div><p>Markov chain 的好处是每一步都是 Gaussian,所以累积仍是 Gaussian;这让 forward 不用网络就能采样、训练时不用模拟整条链。</p></div>

<p>理论上 $q(x_{t-1} | x_t)$ 不是 Gaussian(依赖整个数据分布)。但当 $\beta_t$ 足够小时,反向条件分布 <strong>近似</strong> 是 GaussianFeller 1949 / Sohl-Dickstein 2015),所以参数化为:</p>
<p>$$p_\theta(x_{t-1} | x_t) = \mathcal{N}\!\left(x_{t-1};\; \mu_\theta(x_t, t),\; \Sigma_\theta(x_t, t)\right)$$</p>
<h3 id="32-elbo-推导">3.2 ELBO 推导</h3>
<p>DDPM 优化 evidence lower bound(与 VAE 类似):</p>
<p>$$ \begin{aligned} \log p_\theta(x_0) &\ge \mathbb{E}_{q(x_{1:T}|x_0)}\left[\log \frac{p_\theta(x_{0:T})}{q(x_{1:T}|x_0)}\right] \\ &= -\underbrace{\mathbb{E}_q[\text{KL}(q(x_T|x_0) \,\Vert\, p(x_T))]}_{L_T \text{(常数,prior 匹配)}} \\ &\quad - \sum_{t=2}^T \underbrace{\mathbb{E}_q[\text{KL}(q(x_{t-1}|x_t, x_0) \,\Vert\, p_\theta(x_{t-1}|x_t))]}_{L_{t-1}} \\ &\quad + \underbrace{\mathbb{E}_q[\log p_\theta(x_0 | x_1)]}_{L_0 \text{decoder log-likelihood}} \end{aligned} $$</p>
<p><strong>核心</strong>$q(x_{t-1} | x_t, x_0)$ 是闭式 Gaussian(由 Bayes 推得):</p>
<p>$$q(x_{t-1} | x_t, x_0) = \mathcal{N}\!\left(x_{t-1};\; \tilde\mu_t(x_t, x_0),\; \tilde\beta_t I\right)$$</p>
<p>其中:</p>
<p>$$\tilde\mu_t(x_t, x_0) = \frac{\sqrt{\bar\alpha_{t-1}} \beta_t}{1 - \bar\alpha_t} x_0 + \frac{\sqrt{\alpha_t}(1-\bar\alpha_{t-1})}{1-\bar\alpha_t} x_t, \quad \tilde\beta_t = \frac{1-\bar\alpha_{t-1}}{1-\bar\alpha_t}\beta_t$$</p>
<h3 id="33-化简到-ltextsimple必考推导">3.3 化简到 $L_\text{simple}$(必考推导)</h3>

<p>$$\tilde\mu_t = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\alpha_t}}\left(x_t - \frac{\beta_t}{\sqrt{1-\bar\alpha_t}}\epsilon\right)$$</p>
<p>参数化 $\mu_\theta(x_t, t)$ 也采用同样形式(<strong>$\epsilon$-prediction</strong>):</p>
<p>$$\mu_\theta(x_t, t) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\alpha_t}}\left(x_t - \frac{\beta_t}{\sqrt{1-\bar\alpha_t}}\epsilon_\theta(x_t, t)\right)$$</p>
<p>固定 $\Sigma_\theta = \sigma_t^2 I$(取 $\sigma_t^2 = \beta_t$ 或 $\tilde\beta_t$)。两个 Gaussian 的 KL</p>
<p>$$L_{t-1} = \mathbb{E}\left[\frac{1}{2\sigma_t^2} \| \tilde\mu_t - \mu_\theta \|^2\right] = \mathbb{E}\left[\frac{\beta_t^2}{2\sigma_t^2 \alpha_t (1-\bar\alpha_t)} \|\epsilon - \epsilon_\theta(x_t, t)\|^2\right]$$</p>
<p><strong>Ho 2020 的工程妙招</strong>:扔掉前面所有系数 + 常数项,直接用 unweighted 版本:</p>
<p>$$\boxed{\; L_\text{simple}(\theta) = \mathbb{E}_{t \sim \mathcal{U}\{1,\dots,T\},\; x_0,\; \epsilon}\Big[\big\|\epsilon - \epsilon_\theta\!\big(\sqrt{\bar\alpha_t} x_0 + \sqrt{1-\bar\alpha_t}\epsilon,\; t\big)\big\|^2\Big] \;}$$</p>
<div class="callout callout-good"><div class="callout-title">为什么扔系数也能 work</div><p>Ho 2020 经验观察:unweighted 版本相当于<strong>给低 SNR(高 $t$loss 更大权重</strong>,反而提升 sample 质量。但代价是 $\log$-likelihood 不再是 ELBO 下界——所以"FID 好"≠"likelihood 好"。后续 Improved DDPM (Nichol-Dhariwal 2021) 引入 hybrid loss $L_\text{hybrid} = L_\text{simple} + \lambda L_\text{vlb}$$\lambda = 0.001$),同时学 $\Sigma_\theta$。</p></div>

<h3 id="42-cosine-nichol-dhariwal-2021">4.2 Cosine (Nichol-Dhariwal 2021)</h3>
<p>$$\bar\alpha_t = \frac{f(t)}{f(0)}, \quad f(t) = \cos^2\!\left(\frac{(t/T) + s}{1 + s} \cdot \frac{\pi}{2}\right), \quad s = 0.008$$</p>
<p>$\beta_t = 1 - \bar\alpha_t / \bar\alpha_{t-1}$(再裁剪到 $[0, 0.999]$ 防止数值问题)。$s = 0.008$ 是为了让 $\beta_1$ 不要太接近 0。</p>
<div class="callout callout-good"><div class="callout-title">Cosine schedule 为什么更好?</div><p>linear schedule 在低 $t$ 区域加噪太快,模型大部分时间"练"在已经全是噪声的区域(学不到东西)。cosine 在低 $t$ 加噪缓慢、中间快、末端 SNR 真的接近 0。Improved DDPM 实验:cosine 比 linear 在 ImageNet 64 上 FID 提升约 20%。</p></div>
<h3 id="43-edm--schedule-karras-2022">4.3 EDM σ-schedule (Karras 2022)</h3>
<p>EDM 把 $\beta$ schedule 重新参数化为 $\sigma$ schedule(直接用 $\sigma$ 当时间)。采样时:</p>
<p>$$\sigma_i = \left(\sigma_\text{max}^{1/\rho} + \frac{i}{N-1}\left(\sigma_\text{min}^{1/\rho} - \sigma_\text{max}^{1/\rho}\right)\right)^\rho, \quad i = 0, \dots, N-1$$</p>
<p>默认 $\sigma_\text{min} = 0.002$, $\sigma_\text{max} = 80$, $\rho = 7$。<strong>$\rho = 7$ 是 Karras 实验扫出来的</strong>——比线性 / 对数都好,因为它把更多步骤分配在小 $\sigma$(高 SNR)区域,那里步进误差更敏感。</p>
<div class="callout callout-info"><div class="callout-title">离散 vs 连续 schedule</div><p>DDPM 的 $\beta$ 数组等价于 VP-SDE 的 $\beta(t) = T \beta_{\lfloor tT \rfloor}$EDM 的 $\sigma$-schedule 等价于 VE-SDE 的 $\sigma(t) = t$(线性时间);两者只差一个 $t$ 重参数化,<strong>信息上等价</strong>。EDM 的贡献是发现一组工程上更稳的 $\sigma_i$ 选取规则。</p></div>

<p>定义 $s(x) = \nabla_x \log p(x)$。如果学到 $s_\theta \approx s$,可以用 <strong>Langevin dynamics</strong> 采样:</p>
<p>$$x_{k+1} = x_k + \frac{\eta}{2} s_\theta(x_k) + \sqrt{\eta}\, z_k, \quad z_k \sim \mathcal{N}(0, I)$$</p>
<p>直接 score matching loss $\mathbb{E}_p\|s_\theta - \nabla\log p\|^2$ 不可计算(不知道 $\nabla \log p$)。Hyvärinen 2005 给出 <strong>implicit score matching</strong> 通过积分变换避开 $\nabla \log p$</p>
<p>$$\mathbb{E}_p\left[\|s_\theta(x)\|^2 + 2 \operatorname{tr}(\nabla_x s_\theta(x))\right]$$</p>
<p>但 $\operatorname{tr}(\nabla_x s_\theta)$ 在高维下太贵(Hessian trace)。</p>
<h3 id="52-denoising-score-matching-vincent-2011">5.2 Denoising Score Matching (Vincent 2011)</h3>
<p>对每个数据点 $x_0$,加噪 $\tilde x = x_0 + \sigma \epsilon$,定义 perturbed distribution $p_\sigma(\tilde x) = \int p(x_0) \mathcal{N}(\tilde x; x_0, \sigma^2 I) dx_0$。Vincent 2011 证明:</p>
<p>$$\mathbb{E}_{p_\sigma(\tilde x)}\|s_\theta(\tilde x) - \nabla \log p_\sigma(\tilde x)\|^2 = \mathbb{E}_{x_0, \tilde x}\left\|s_\theta(\tilde x) - \nabla_{\tilde x} \log q(\tilde x | x_0)\right\|^2 + \text{const}$$</p>
<p>而 $q(\tilde x | x_0) = \mathcal{N}(x_0, \sigma^2 I)$ 的 score <strong>闭式</strong></p>
<p>$$\nabla_{\tilde x} \log q(\tilde x | x_0) = -\frac{\tilde x - x_0}{\sigma^2} = -\frac{\epsilon}{\sigma}$$</p>

<p>两边除以 $p_t(x_t)$</p>
<p>$$\nabla_{x_t} \log p_t(x_t) = \frac{1}{p_t(x_t)} \int p_0(x_0) \mathcal{N}(x_t | x_0) \frac{x_0 - x_t}{\sigma_t^2}\, dx_0 = \mathbb{E}_{p_0(x_0 | x_t)}\left[\frac{x_0 - x_t}{\sigma_t^2}\right]$$</p>

<p>DDPM ancestral sampling 必须走 $T = 1000$ 步(Markov 链)。能否<strong>少步数采样</strong>且不重训?DDIM (Song et al. 2020 arXiv / ICLR 2021) 给出"yes"——核心是把 forward 改成 non-Markovian,但保持<strong>与 DDPM 一样的 marginal $q(x_t | x_0)$</strong></p>
<h3 id="72-non-markovian-forward">7.2 Non-Markovian Forward</h3>
<p>DDIM 定义一族 forward distribution,由参数 $\eta \in [0, 1]$ 控制:</p>
<p>$$q_\sigma(x_{t-1} | x_t, x_0) = \mathcal{N}\!\left(x_{t-1};\; \sqrt{\bar\alpha_{t-1}}\, x_0 + \sqrt{1 - \bar\alpha_{t-1} - \sigma_t^2}\, \frac{x_t - \sqrt{\bar\alpha_t} x_0}{\sqrt{1-\bar\alpha_t}},\; \sigma_t^2 I\right)$$</p>
<p>其中 $\sigma_t^2 = \eta^2 \cdot \tilde\beta_t = \eta^2 \cdot \frac{1-\bar\alpha_{t-1}}{1-\bar\alpha_t} \beta_t$。</p>
<p><strong>关键性质</strong>DDIM Theorem 1):在此 forward 下,<strong>$q(x_t | x_0)$ 仍是 $\mathcal{N}(\sqrt{\bar\alpha_t} x_0, (1-\bar\alpha_t) I)$</strong>——与 DDPM 完全一致!所以可以<strong>直接用 DDPM 训练的 $\epsilon_\theta$</strong> 做 DDIM 采样。</p>

<h4 id="推导unit-variance-论证">推导:unit-variance 论证</h4>
<p><strong>目标</strong>:让 $F_\theta$ 的输入和训练 target 在所有 $\sigma$ 上方差都是 $\mathcal{O}(1)$。</p>

<p>$$c_\text{in}(\sigma) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{\sigma_\text{data}^2 + \sigma^2}} \quad \Rightarrow \quad \text{Var}[c_\text{in} x] = 1$$</p>

<p>$$F^*(x; \sigma) = \frac{1}{c_\text{out}(\sigma)}\left[D^*(x;\sigma) - c_\text{skip}(\sigma)\, x\right]$$</p>
<p>希望 $\text{Var}[c_\text{out} F^* + c_\text{skip} x - D^*] = 0$ 且 $\text{Var}[F^*] = 1$(让网络的 target 单位方差)。</p>
<p>求最小 effective error 的 $c_\text{skip}$ 与 $c_\text{out}$(最小化 $\mathbb{E}\|F^* - F_\theta\|^2$ 在 $\text{Var}[F^*]=1$ 约束下)。Karras 取 $D^* = x_0$(理想情形),代入并展开:</p>

<p>权重 $\lambda(\sigma) = (\sigma^2 + \sigma_\text{data}^2) / (\sigma \cdot \sigma_\text{data})^2 = 1/c_\text{out}^2$,等价 <strong>训练 $F_\theta$ 用 unweighted L2</strong>(每个 $\sigma$ 上 target 单位方差,loss 数量级一致)。</p>
<p><strong>$\sigma$ 训练采样</strong>$\ln \sigma \sim \mathcal{N}(P_\text{mean}, P_\text{std}^2)$,默认 $P_\text{mean} = -1.2$, $P_\text{std} = 1.2$(让 $\sigma$ 集中在 $0.3$ 附近——这是"最难学"的 SNR 区域,Karras 实验扫出来的)。</p>

<p>Heun 第 $i$ 步($\sigma_i \to \sigma_{i+1}$$\Delta\sigma = \sigma_{i+1} - \sigma_i$):</p>

<summary>Q23.推导 EDM preconditioning 中的 $c_\text{skip}$ 与 $c_\text{out}$。</summary>
<p><strong>Setup</strong>VE 视角 $x = x_0 + \sigma \epsilon$$\epsilon \sim \mathcal{N}(0, I)$$\text{Var}[x_0] = \sigma_\text{data}^2$。Denoiser 参数化:</p>
<p>$$D_\theta(x; \sigma) = c_\text{skip}(\sigma) x + c_\text{out}(\sigma) F_\theta(c_\text{in} x, c_\text{noise})$$</p>
<p><strong>Effective target for $F_\theta$</strong></p>
<p>$$F^*(x_0, \sigma, \epsilon) = \frac{1}{c_\text{out}(\sigma)}\big[x_0 - c_\text{skip}(\sigma) x\big] = \frac{1}{c_\text{out}}\big[(1 - c_\text{skip}) x_0 - c_\text{skip} \sigma \epsilon\big]$$</p>
<p><strong>目标</strong>:找 $c_\text{skip}, c_\text{out}$ 让 $\text{Var}[F^*]$(对 $x_0, \epsilon$ 取期望)= 1。</p>
<p>$$\text{Var}[F^*] = \frac{1}{c_\text{out}^2}\big[(1-c_\text{skip})^2 \sigma_\text{data}^2 + c_\text{skip}^2 \sigma^2\big] = 1$$</p>
<p>但单纯归一化有多解。<strong>第二准则</strong>Karras 2022):让 $F_\theta$ 学的"残差"最小(让 $c_\text{out}$ 最小,因为 $c_\text{out}$ 越大 $F$ 越被 amplify、误差也被 amplify)。等价求:</p>
<p>$$\min_{c_\text{skip}}\;\; c_\text{out}^2(c_\text{skip}) = (1-c_\text{skip})^2 \sigma_\text{data}^2 + c_\text{skip}^2 \sigma^2$$</p>
<p>对 $c_\text{skip}$ 求导 = 0</p>
<p>$$-2(1 - c_\text{skip}) \sigma_\text{data}^2 + 2 c_\text{skip} \sigma^2 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad c_\text{skip} = \frac{\sigma_\text{data}^2}{\sigma_\text{data}^2 + \sigma^2}$$</p>
<p>代回 $\text{Var}[F^*] = 1$ 约束:</p>
<p>$$c_\text{out}^2 = (1-c_\text{skip})^2 \sigma_\text{data}^2 + c_\text{skip}^2 \sigma^2 = \frac{\sigma^4 \sigma_\text{data}^2}{(\sigma^2+\sigma_\text{data}^2)^2} + \frac{\sigma_\text{data}^4 \sigma^2}{(\sigma^2+\sigma_\text{data}^2)^2} = \frac{\sigma^2 \sigma_\text{data}^2}{\sigma^2 + \sigma_\text{data}^2}$$</p>
<p>$$\boxed{\; c_\text{out}(\sigma) = \frac{\sigma \cdot \sigma_\text{data}}{\sqrt{\sigma^2 + \sigma_\text{data}^2}} \;}$$</p>
<p><strong>输入归一化</strong>$c_\text{in}(\sigma) = 1/\sqrt{\sigma_\text{data}^2 + \sigma^2}$ 让 $\text{Var}[c_\text{in} x] = 1$。</p>
<p><strong>结论</strong>:四个 $c$ 函数完全由 $\sigma_\text{data}$ 决定,无可调参数(实际工程上 $\sigma_\text{data}$ 由数据计算,对 normalized images 约 0.5)。</p>
<p>只背公式不会推导;不知道 $c_\text{skip}$ 是最小化 $c_\text{out}$ 推出来的;以为 $c$ 函数有 free parameter。</p>

<ul><li>采样 $x_0$$\sigma_n$uniformly $n \in \{1, \dots, N-1\}$</li><li>加噪:$x_{\sigma_{n+1}} = x_0 + \sigma_{n+1} \epsilon$</li><li><strong>Teacher ODE solve 一步</strong>:从 $x_{\sigma_{n+1}}$ 用 teacher $\epsilon_\phi$ 做 Heun step 到 $\hat x_{\sigma_n}$</li><li>Loss: $d(f_\theta(x_{\sigma_{n+1}}, \sigma_{n+1}), f_{\theta^-}(\hat x_{\sigma_n}, \sigma_n))$</li></ul></li><li>更新 $\theta$EMA 更新 $\theta^- \leftarrow \mu \theta^- + (1-\mu)\theta$</li></ol>
<p><strong>为什么需要 EMA target</strong></p>
<ul><li>直接用 $\theta = \theta^-$ 会有 trivial solution$f_\theta \equiv \text{const}$ 也满足 consistency</li><li>EMA $\theta^-$ 比 $\theta$ 滞后,提供"stable" target,避免 student 跟着自己变</li><li>类似 BYOL / MoCo 的 self-supervised setup</li><li>$\mu = 0.999 \sim 0.99995$(与训练步数相关)</li></ul>
<p><strong>最近改进 (iCT, Song-Dhariwal 2024)</strong><strong>移除 EMA teacher</strong>(直接用同一 $\theta$ 算 target,不再保留 $\theta^-$),改用 pseudo-Huber loss,配合 lognormal noise schedule + curriculum 增加 discretization step 数,CT 接近 CD 质量。</p>
<p>不知道 trivial solution;以为 EMA 只是工程稳定 trick;不知道 teacher 是干啥的。</p>

<summary>Q25.SD3 / FLUX 这条线为什么能压到 4-step / 1-step 出图?</summary>
<p><strong>核心路径</strong><strong>RF (linear path) + Reflow + Distill</strong>。逐步拆:</p>
<ol><li><strong>RF 让 trajectory 直</strong> —— $x_t = (1-t)x_0 + tx_1$ODE 解的"理想曲线"就是直线(线性插值),Euler 一阶在长 step 下误差小(与 cosine path 在 mid-$t$ 处曲率大形成对比)</li><li><strong>Reflow 让 trajectory 更直</strong> —— 第一次训完拿 ODE 跑出 coupled $(x_0, x_1)$,再训一次,trajectory 收敛到更接近直线。Liu 2022 证明 reflow 单调降低 transport cost</li><li><strong>CFG-distillation</strong> —— 把 CFG 的 2× forwardcond + uncond)蒸馏成单 forwardFLUX 做了这步);NFE 折半</li><li><strong>Adversarial distillation (ADD)</strong> —— SD3-Turbo / SDXL-Turbo 末段用 DINOv2 discriminator + distill loss4-step 接近 30-step 质量</li></ol>
<p><strong>对比 DDPM 路线</strong>DDPM trajectory 在 mid-$t$ 曲率大(cosine path),Euler 一阶在 5 步以下不可用;要 DPM-Solver-2 二阶 + consistency distillation 才能压到 4 step。<strong>RF 是工程友好的多</strong>——一阶 sampler 就够。</p>
<p><strong>FLUX-Schnell 的 1-step</strong>RF + reflow + heavy distillation1024px 单 forward 就出图,~100ms/image。代价:可控性 / 多样性略降;prompt 跟随精度略低于 multi-step。</p>
<p>只说"RF 比 DDPM 快"不知道为什么;不知道 reflow + distill 是双管齐下;以为 FLUX 1-step 只是因为 RF(实际还有 distillation)。</p>
