GitHub - yuanchenyang/smalldiffusion: Simple and readable code for training and sampling from diffusion models Simple and readable code for training and sampling from diffusion models - yuanchenyang/smalldiffusion

In the problem sets, we use the library introduced in the first lecture (github.com/yuanchenyang...) to train diffusion models on custom data, as well as using pretrained models as building blocks for a variety of downstream tasks (see examples above).

We then talked about different theoretical perspectives and derivations of diffusion (L2), how guidance and conditioning works (L3), the puzzling question of how and why diffusion models generalize (L4), ...

Last month I co-taught a class on diffusion models at MIT during the IAP term: www.practical-diffusion.org

In the lectures, we first introduced diffusion models from a practitioner's perspective, showing how to build a simple but powerful implementation from the ground up (L1).
