Reverse DDIM sampler (spec layer) #
DDIM (Denoising Diffusion Implicit Models) can be viewed as a deterministic sampler that
reuses the same denoiser ε_θ(x,t) but removes per-step noise.
This file provides the η = 0 variant (fully deterministic), which is often used as a simple
"flow-like" sampler derived from the same diffusion model.
Reference (informal pointer):
- Song, Meng, Ermon (2021), "Denoising Diffusion Implicit Models" (DDIM).
One deterministic DDIM step x_t -> x_{t-1} (η = 0).
We reuse the same x0Pred reconstruction as DDPM and then recompose x_{t-1} using the
forward-process coefficients at time t-1:
x_{t-1} = sqrt(ᾱ_{t-1}) * x0_pred + sqrt(1-ᾱ_{t-1}) * ε̂.
Instances For
Run the full deterministic DDIM sampler for T steps (η = 0).
Instances For
Real-valued DDIM transition as a DynamicalSystem.
DynamicalSystem is fixed to SpecScalar = ℝ, so this adapter gives DDIM samplers the same
trajectory/fixed-point API used by SSMs and other discrete systems.
