Incorporating adaptive noise levels based on Denoising Entropy could improve performance in non-stationary environments for Masked Diffusion Models (MDMs).

Motivation

The current work primarily focuses on using Denoising Entropy to optimize decoding paths, but does not explore how this metric can be used to adjust the model's behavior in dynamic, real-world scenarios where noise characteristics change over time. Adapting noise levels dynamically based on uncertainty could enhance model robustness and adaptability.

Proposed Method

Develop a mechanism that adjusts the noise level within MDMs based on the real-time Denoising Entropy metric. Conduct experiments in simulated non-stationary environments, such as varying lighting conditions in image generation tasks or fluctuating network conditions in speech synthesis. Compare the performance and stability of this adaptive approach against static noise level models.

Expected Contribution

This research would demonstrate the potential of dynamic noise adaptation in generative models, leading to more robust performance in fluctuating environments.

Required Resources

Access to simulated environments, computational resources for training MDMs, expertise in adaptive systems and real-time processing.
