Abstract: Diffusion models have emerged as a powerful tool for generating diverse types of data, including sequential data such as audio, video, and motion. As the temporal consistency in sequential data is crucial for maintaining fidelity and realism, this paper introduce the AutoRegressive Temporal diffusion (ARTDiff) approach to address the challenge of temporal consistency in diffusion models. ARTDiff offers a straightforward and efficient solution that requires minimal computational overhead. Our proposed ARTDiff method leverages the inherent autoregressive dependence structure in time by introducing a Gaussian noise distribution whose correlations between time frames have a functional form in terms of time difference. This design explicitly captures the temporal dependencies and enhances the consistency in generated sequences. We evaluate the effectiveness of ARTDiff on audio and motion generation tasks. Experimental results demonstrate that ARTDiff significantly improves the fidelity and realism of generated samples compared to baseline diffusion models. The simplicity and efficiency of ARTDiff make it a practical choice for incorporating temporal consistency in diffusion-based generation models.
