This research demonstrates that applying an entropy-based log-barrier to supervised diffusion models can counteract mode collapse and enhance musical diversity without introducing new parameters. By leveraging the locked gradient direction in diffusion training, the method effectively uses confidence as a step-size scaler rather than a source of error, yielding stronger thematic development and acoustic differentiation. The approach establishes a self-referential data curriculum driven purely by the forward pass, offering a novel mechanism for optimizing generative audio outputs.
Entropy as a Structural Prior: How a Log-Barrier on DiT Belief Space Drives Musical Diversity and Development
arXiv:2606.07207v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Confidence-based loss weighting is usually avoided in generative models because it accelerates errors when the model is confidently wrong, but this intuition breaks down in supervised diffusion training. We introduce the Eisbach log-barrier, a parameter-free weight derived from the entropy of the DiT output's spatial energy distribution: high entropy damps the gradient, while low entropy preserves it. Applied to LoRA fine-tuning of Stable Audio 3 Medium on MusicCaps, it unexpectedly yields stronger thematic development, clearer acoustic differentiation, and higher textural diversity than unweighted training, the opposite of mode collapse. This works because in supervised diffusion the gradient direction is locked to ground truth, so confidence only scales the step size, and because temporal entropy downweights flat samples while preserving high-contrast ones. The result is an online, self-referential data curriculum that emerges purely from the forward pass, with analyzed noise-level dynamics and testable predictions.
