Watch Your Step: Information Injection in Diffusion Models via Shadow Timestep Embedding

arXiv:2605.00935v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Diffusion models have become the foundation of modern generative systems, with most research focusing primarily on improving generation efficiency and output quality. The timestep embedding component is a crucial part of the diffusion pipeline, which provides a temporal conditioning signal to the denoising network, enabling it to adapt its predictions across different noise levels throughout the process. Despite their potential to contain substanti...
