DMAD: Distribution Matching as Adversarial Distillation for Fast Visual Generation

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.02188v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Distribution Matching Distillation (DMD) trains a few-step student from the difference between separately estimated target and student scores, so it must keep an auxiliary diffusion model fitted to the student's evolving distribution at extra memory and computation cost. We introduce DMAD, Distribution Matching as Adversarial Distillation, which recasts distribution matching as classification and learns the required log-density ratios directly. T
