Noise schedule
A noise schedule in a diffusion model is the sequence of noise variances specifying how much Gaussian noise is added at each forward step, shaping training and sampling quality.
Noise schedules and preconditioning
A noise schedule controls how much signal and noise mix at each diffusion step, and preconditioning rescales the network's inputs, outputs, and loss for stable training.
Noise shaping (computation)
Noise shaping (computation), also known as stochastic rounding, randomly maps numbers to maintain zero-mean error, limiting accumulated error growth to the square root of $n$.
Noise uncertainty
Noise uncertainty is the gap between a receiver's estimated and actual noise power, which degrades cognitive radio spectrum sensing and imposes an SNR wall below which reliable detection fails.
