No findings were extractable from the material analysed.
Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
The source did not state who this applies to in practice.
Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
This record has not been graded across any dimension yet. Treat the label above as provisional and read the source.
What is missing. This record has no bottom line, key findings, reported figures, evidence dimensions. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Sampling equilibrium field configurations remains a major computational bottleneck in lattice field theory, motivating the development of generative samplers that can produce independent configurations. Diffusion models are promising for this purpose, but their standard denoising score matching objective requires samples from the target distribution, seemingly reintroducing the original sampling problem. Here, we show that diffusion models can instead be trained from their own generated samples using the target score identity, provided access to the unnormalized probability density. Importance-weighted formulations of this identity yield a consistent target throughout training, while unweighted variants define a self-consistent fixed-point training scheme. We benchmark the different approaches in two-dimensional \(φ^4\) theory and identify effective choices that enable efficient training and sampling across the symmetric, critical, and broken phases. Ultimately, our data-free training approach achieves comparable performance to training on HMC reference data.
