  • 采用像素级均值流实现单步生成,大幅降低计算开销。
  • 在星系椭圆率、半长轴等形态指标上达到与多步模型相当的精度。
  • 适合大规模宇宙学模拟与基于仿真的科学推断任务。

理解宇宙时间尺度下星系形态演化,需要能根据红移条件生成真实星系图像的模型。本文研究基于扩散模型和像素级均值流(pixel-MeanFlow)的高效红移条件生成方法。通过分析得分模型、流匹配、单步生成模型与现代采样器之间的关联,我们在GalaxiesML-64数据集上评估了DDPM、DDIM、DEIS-AB2、DPM++2M及单步像素均值流的性能,使用椭圆率、半长轴、Sérsic指数和等照面面积等形态指标进行评价。结果表明存在明显精度-效率权衡:标准DDPM采样虽分布保真度最高但计算成本高;二阶采样器显著优于DDIM。像素均值流支持单步生成,在多个形态统计量上表现良好,但在精细结构还原上仍弱于多步DDPM。研究表明,单步生成模型可在计算成本降低数量级的前提下恢复关键星系形态特征,为大规模宇宙学巡天与基于仿真的科学推断提供了高效条件模拟新路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Understanding galaxy morphology evolution across cosmic time requires models that can generate realistic galaxy populations conditioned on redshift. In this work, we study efficient redshift-conditioned generative modeling for astrophysical image synthesis using diffusion models and pixel-MeanFlow. We first review the connections between score-based diffusion models, Flow Matching, one-step generative models, and modern diffusion samplers. We then evaluate DDPM, DDIM, DEIS-AB2, DPM++2M, and one-step pixel-MeanFlow on the GalaxiesML-64 dataset using morphology-based metrics, including ellipticity, semi-major axis, Sérsic index, and isophotal area. Our results show a clear accuracy-efficiency trade-off: standard DDPM sampling achieves the best distributional fidelity but requires high computational cost, while second-order samplers substantially improve efficiency over DDIM. Pixel-MeanFlow enables single-step generation and achieves competitive performance on several morphology statistics, though it remains weaker than many-step DDPM for fine-grained structure. Our results demonstrate that one-step generative models can recover key galaxy morphology statistics at orders-of-magnitude lower computational cost, opening a path toward efficient conditional simulators for large cosmological surveys and simulation-based scientific inference.
