    "Summary": "The paper introduces a multi-scale grid-based noise adaptation mechanism to enhance diffusion models for low-dimensional datasets. The proposed method employs coarse (5x5) and fine (20x20) grids to adjust noise levels dynamically during the diffusion process. The approach is evaluated on four 2D datasets, showing significant improvements in sample quality and distribution matching compared to standard diffusion models.",
