Conditional Diffusion Model
An extension of the denoising diffusion probabilistic model (DDPM) that incorporates conditional information into the standard diffusion framework, enabling the model to generate samples from a specific distribution given a condition. It is widely applied in conditional image generation, time-series modeling, and related tasks.

The total variation upper bound given in the paper matches the rates established by existing conditional distribution estimation theory (up to a logarithmic factor), achieving the known optimal level for this class of problems.
Under the assumption of smooth conditional density models, for any β>0, selecting an appropriate sampling grid allows the average conditional KL divergence to achieve a convergence rate of Õ_p(n^(−2β/(d_x+d_y+2β))).
Under the total variation metric, the average error is Õ_p(n^(−β/(d_x+d_y+2β))).
The paper finds that whether using a full sampler or an early-stopped sampler, error bounds of the same order can be achieved (consistent up to logarithmic factors).
The paper "Finite-Sample Guarantees for Fully Discrete Conditional Diffusion Models" establishes finite-sample error guarantees for conditional diffusion models that are learned from data and implemented with a finite number of denoising steps.
The key idea of this research approach is to align the score training objective with the sampling grid, thereby jointly handling statistical estimation error and numerical discretization error within the same analytical framework.
The study generates samples of X_{t+Δt} conditioned on X_t, allowing the network to implicitly learn the conditional distribution p(X_{t+Δt}|X_t) by training on observed segments
This method still needs to be validated and extended in terms of high-dimensional state spaces, non-time-homogeneous processes, and computational efficiency.
The arXiv:2610.09045v1 study proposes using conditional diffusion models to learn the transition kernel of time-homogeneous jump-diffusion processes in a data-driven manner and to generate new sample paths
