A Unified View of Drifting and Score-Based Models

This paper establishes a unified theoretical framework demonstrating that drifting models, which optimize kernel-based mean-shift discrepancies, are mathematically equivalent to score-matching objectives on kernel-smoothed distributions, thereby precisely connecting them to diffusion models and clarifying their relationship with Distribution Matching Distillation.
