扩散模型在时间序列生成中表现优异,但推理时需大量顺序去噪步骤,限制了实际应用。现有快速采样器通常采用固定或通用的时间步调度,忽略了时间序列扩散的一个关键特性:不同频带在反向过程中演化速率不同。本文提出StrideDiffusion,一种无需训练的频谱感知采样器,基于频带级活动自适应选择去噪步长。每一步监测相对频带能量、对数功率漂移和相位速度,判断高频动态是否活跃;若高频活跃则执行细步,否则采用大跳跃。频带稳定性分析表明,在确定性仿射反向更新下,静止频带的变化与步长呈线性关系,为频谱活跃度作为步长指标提供了局部理论支持。在六个无条件时间序列生成基准上,StrideDiffusion仅需14-66次函数评估,相比500/1000步去噪,实现最高18.9倍的墙钟加速,且生成质量保持或提升。在条件补全与预测任务中,平均加速5-14倍,预测精度相当。结果表明,频谱演化是高效时间序列扩散采样的有效且合理的信号。代码已公开于https://anonymous.4open.science/r/stridediff-ts。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Diffusion models have become competitive generators for time series, but their practical use is limited by the large number of sequential denoising steps required at inference time. Existing fast samplers typically use fixed or generic timestep schedules, overlooking a distinctive property of time-series diffusion: different spectral bands evolve at different rates during the reverse process. We introduce StrideDiffusion, a training-free spectral-aware sampler that adaptively selects the denoising stride from band-level activity. At each step, StrideDiffusion monitors relative band energy, log-power drift, and phase velocity to identify whether high- frequency dynamics remain active or whether the trajectory is dominated by stable low-frequency structure. It then takes fine steps when rapidly varying bands are active and larger jumps once only coarse components remain. A bandwise stability analysis shows that inactive frequency bands change only linearly with the jump size under deterministic affine reverse updates, providing a local justification for spectral activity as a step-size indicator. Across six unconditional time-series generation benchmarks, StrideDiffusion uses only 14-66 function evaluations instead of 500/1000 denoising steps, achieving up to 18.9x wall-clock speedup while preserving or improving generation quality. On conditional imputation and forecasting, it further delivers 5-14x average acceleration with comparable predictive accuracy. These results show that spectral evolution provides a practical and principled signal for fast time-series diffusion sampling.
