Introduction to Diffusion Models for Machine Learning

What's this blog post about?

In this article, we discussed the concept of diffusion models in depth. We started by defining what a diffusion model is and why they have become so popular recently. Then, we delved into the mathematical details behind how these models work, specifically focusing on the denoising process. Finally, we provided an example implementation of a simple diffusion model using PyTorch to generate images from noise. Reference: [1] A. Sohl-Dickstein and G. E.
