Wildfire Spread Scenarios: Increasing Sample Diversity of Segmentation Diffusion Models with Training-Free Methods
Predicting future states in uncertain environments, such as wildfire spread, medical diagnosis, or autonomous driving, requires models that can consider multiple plausible outcomes. While diffusion models can effectively learn such multi-modal distributions, naively sampling from these models is computationally inefficient, potentially requiring hundreds of samples to find low-probability modes that may still be operationally relevant. In this work, we address the challenge of sample-efficient ambiguous segmentation by evaluating several training-free sampling methods that encourage diverse predictions. We adapt two techniques, particle guidance and SPELL, originally designed for the gene...
