Missing Pattern Recognized Diffusion Imputation Model for Missing Not At RandomGyuwon Sim, Sumin Lee, Heesun Bae et al.
Missing data frequently arises across diverse domains, including time-series and image domains. In the real world, missing occurrences often depend on the unobservable values themselves, which are referred to as Missing Not at Random (MNAR). In this work, we introduce the Missing Pattern Recognized Diffusion Imputation Model (PRDIM), a novel framework that explicitly captures the missing pattern and precisely imputes unobserved values. PRDIM iteratively maximizes the likelihood of the joint distribution for observed values and missing mask under an Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm. In this sense, we first employ a pattern recognizer, which approximates the underlying missing pattern and provides guidance during every inference toward more plausible imputations with respect to the missing information. Through extensive experiments, we demonstrate that PRDIM consistently achieves strong imputation performance under MNAR settings across multiple data modalities.

Distilling Dataset into Neural FieldDonghyeok Shin, HeeSun Bae, Gyuwon Sim et al.
Utilizing a large-scale dataset is essential for training high-performance deep learning models, but it also comes with substantial computation and storage costs. To overcome these challenges, dataset distillation has emerged as a promising solution by compressing the large-scale dataset into a smaller synthetic dataset that retains the essential information needed for training. This paper proposes a novel parameterization framework for dataset distillation, coined Distilling Dataset into Neural Field (DDiF), which leverages the neural field to store the necessary information of the large-scale dataset. Due to the unique nature of the neural field, which takes coordinates as input and output quantity, DDiF effectively preserves the information and easily generates various shapes of data. We theoretically confirm that DDiF exhibits greater expressiveness than some previous literature when the utilized budget for a single synthetic instance is the same. Through extensive experiments, we demonstrate that DDiF achieves superior performance on several benchmark datasets, extending beyond the image domain to include video, audio, and 3D voxel. We release the code at https://github.com/aailab-kaist/DDiF.

Diffusion Adaptive Text Embedding for Text-to-Image Diffusion ModelsByeonghu Na, Minsang Park, Gyuwon Sim et al.
Text-to-image diffusion models rely on text embeddings from a pre-trained text encoder, but these embeddings remain fixed across all diffusion timesteps, limiting their adaptability to the generative process. We propose Diffusion Adaptive Text Embedding (DATE), which dynamically updates text embeddings at each diffusion timestep based on intermediate perturbed data. We formulate an optimization problem and derive an update rule that refines the text embeddings at each sampling step to improve alignment and preference between the mean predicted image and the text. This allows DATE to dynamically adapts the text conditions to the reverse-diffused images throughout diffusion sampling without requiring additional model training. Through theoretical analysis and empirical results, we show that DATE maintains the generative capability of the model while providing superior text-image alignment over fixed text embeddings across various tasks, including multi-concept generation and text-guided image editing.
