- Diffusion models are powerful generative models that enable many successful applications like image, video, and 3D generation from texts.
In this tutorial, I share my understanding of the diffusion model basics, including training, guidance, resolution, and speed.
Below are some other great resources to learn more about diffusion models.

I'm building my own diffusion model myself. This is the best breakdown and visualization of the mathematics and implementation. Well done.
Thank you! This comment just made my day!
This is truly a great tutorial video, so well-made. Cannot believe covering so many things within only 17 minutes.
Thanks a lot! Happy that you enjoyed the video!
incredible explanation with so much detail packed in so little time. Looking forward to more of these
Thanks, Ayush! Glad that you like it!
seriously one of the best educational videos I've ever watched.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for your great work removing the need of the audience to know much prior knowledge before they could enjoy your video. For example, you mentioned maximum likelihood and explain what it is immediately. It is such a challenge to straighten all these in a 17-minute video, but you did a great work. Thank you!
Glad that you liked it! Appreciate your kind words! This made my day!
Thanks for your efforts in making such a high-quality video!
I like the way you break down such complex ideas in a concise manner and visualize them intuitively and elegantly. I wish I could have this video six months ago, lol.
Thanks for your kind words! It's a fun video to make, and I also learn a lot about diffusion models through the process.
BRAVO! No one ever have explained the diffusion model in such an easy way with all the details.
Thank you so much for your kind words! This makes my day!
Thanks a lot for the videos! I've been self-studying diffusion models on the side for a few months now and this is the only video I've seen that gives an in-depth yet intuitive explanation of the math.
Glad it was helpful!
You are a true educator! Great video!
Thank you so much! Glad that you like the video.
What a timing 🙌 needed this explanation so bad... thanks ✌️
Glad it helps! Thanks a lot!
Very compressive and precise. Thanks. Also thanks for tweedie formula and simplifying score based model. That is the most convoluted part in most papers. Looking forward to demystified NERFs from you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for your contribution. It's a tutorial make me clear about Diffusion, as beginner.
You are welcome. Glad it was helpful!
Amazing work! Thank you for sharing 😀
Thank you! Cheers!
I appreciated the explanation of conditional generations. Nice job!
Thanks so much! Glad that you like it.
Really enjoying watching this video and learned a lot. Hope more such videos in the future.
Will do! Stay tuned! 😊
I would say Top quality video! Congratulations!🎉 More like this would by awesome!
Thank you! Will do!
Great explanation, Jia-Bin! Thanks!
Thanks, Emre!
Just one minute in the video, you know it's extremely well done. Thanks for the video !
Glad you liked it! Thanks so much for the comment!
OK, this is the best video explanation of diffusion models I saw. Ideal ratio between simplifications and depth☺👏
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for your kind words!
I agree. The author must have carefully chosen the most efficient way cutting into the complex concept hierarchy and every single word to achieve that efficiency.
Awesome video, hope I'm smarter when I try to rewatch it in 3 months ;)
Glad you liked it! Let me know if you have questions.
Best video on diffusion!!
Great! Glad that it’s helpful!
Great video! At 1:21 should be maximizing similarity between two distributions. Or minimizing the distance between two distributions.
Thanks for pointing this out! Yes, you are right! It should be *maximizing* the similarity between the two distributions.
BRO YOU ARE EPIC
Thank you thank you!
Saw the cow, heard the moo. 5 stars.
🤣🤣🤣
Awesome post, Jiang, thank you so much for the great job!
Anyway, a small comment/question on your video (without too much importance, I assume). At minute 5:56 you comment that (direct derivation of formula (7) in the paper "Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models"), mu^hat_t(x_t,x_0) is on the line joining x_0 and x_t. And, while this is approximately true for "normal" beta_t scheduling, I think that the estimated mean as a function of x_0 and x_t need not be exactly on such a line since, in general, the respective multipliers of x_0 and x_t in such an equation need not (in general) add up to one.
In fact, in "normal" scheduling, as t increases, it seems that this sum keeps progressively moving away from 1, so that although obviously mu_t will continue to be a simple linear combination of both x_t and x_0, the fact is that it will progressively move away (although by a small amount) from this line.
Would you agree with this observation?
Greetings, and again, congratulations for the video and thank you very much for clarifying us the inners of diffusion models!
Thank you so much for your comment! You are right! It won’t be on the line when the multipliers are not adding up to one.
@Jia-Bin Huang we want to maximize likelihood and also minimize KL divergence so that we can "maximize" similarity between two distributions..it is stated other-way round at timestamp 1:19 to 1:121
Yes! You are right! Maximize likelihood -> Minimize KL divergence -> Maximize similarity between the two distributions.
I got confused with too many negations. :-P
My like comes with the 5th Symphony (9:39) 😸🎶
Oh My! Finally one person noticed that! (Spent a lot of time making that lol)
I have a question: Are all distribution mentioned is distribution of a continuous variable, since we're using integral here?
Good question! I think there are some development of discrete variational autoencoder and diffusion models. Those methods can deal with discrete variables.
Wish I could hear what you say:
0:36 "this stickholder"?
0:43 "hyber we do not know"
1:13 "just the cadirabigdes"
and so on
You can see the full script by turning on the subtitles/CC. Hope this helps.
@@jbhuang0604 I will try, thanks!
