Initialization is Half the Battle: Generating Diverse Images from a Guidance Potential Posterior 文章

arXiv:2606.02453v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Despite the remarkable fidelity of generative models, they frequently suffer from mode collapse. Existing strategies for enhancing diversity predominantly focus on intervening during the generation trajectory. We identify a critical oversight that the standard Gaussian initialization often causes trajectories to collapse into dominant modes because it is agnostic to the guidance potential landscape. In this work, we formulate selecting the initial noise from a guidance potential posterior, which effectively re-weights the prior towards diversity-rich regions. To sample from this distribution efficiently, we introduce Diversity-inducing Initialization (DivIn), which leverages Langevin dynamics to actively navigate the initialization landscape, steering initial noise away from collapsing regions while anchoring them to the valid data manifold.
