The proposed neural approximate mirror maps (NAMMs) enable learning of mirror diffusion models (MDMs) for various constraints, such as physics-based, geometric, or semantic ones. NAMMs only require a differentiable distance function from the constraint set and learn an approximate mirror map that pushes data into an unconstrained space. This approach improves distribution-matching accuracy and makes MDMs more reliable for generating valid synthetic data and solving constrained inverse problems.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
NAMMs help create more realistic images by learning to respect constraints like symmetry or physics-based rules. Existing methods struggled with different types of constraints, but this new approach only needs a special distance function from the constraint set. It works by creating an “unconstrained space” where the image is changed, and then changing it back into the original space while following the rules. This makes the images more accurate and realistic.
