Summary

DMAD matched distributions through log-density ratios and reached one-step ImageNet FID 1.04.

DMAD learns the density-ratio signal for few-step visual distillation with two discriminator heads instead of maintaining an auxiliary student-score model. The authors report leading compared image, video and audio-video results, including one-step ImageNet-64 FID 1.04.

Why it matters

DMAD matched distributions through log-density ratios and reached one-step ImageNet FID 1.04.
