Any pointers on getting up to speed on diffusion models? I haven't encountered them in my corner of the ML world, and googling around for a review paper didn't turn anything up.

- Imnimo 5y agoI recommend this blog post: https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2021-07-11-diffusion-models/ https://lilianweng.github.io/posts/2021-07-11-diffusion-mode... Personally, I find the core diffusion papers pretty dense and difficult to follow, so the blog post is where I'd begin. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1503.03585.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1503.03585.pdf This paper is a decent starting point on the literature side, but it's a doozy. Both the paper and blog post are pretty math heavy. I have not yet found a really clear intuitive explanation that doesn't get down in the weeds of the math, and it took me a long time to understand what the hell the math is trying to say (and there are some parts I still don't fully understand!)
