Understanding Deep Learning -- Diffusion Models

Diffusion Models
The SDML book club is reading a cool new book by Simon J.D. Prince called Understanding Deep Learning. This week we will discuss chapter 18, about diffusion models. Stable diffusion, DALL-E, and Midjourney are just the tip of the iceberg for what people are doing with diffusion models, as we now see applications like AlphaFold 3 using diffusion.
A free PDF copy of the book can be downloaded from the author's book site (udlbook.github.io/udlbook/) or it can be purchased from MIT Press. Everyone is welcome to join us. It is fine if you missed earlier sessions.
* Please make sure to read the instructions for joining the event below.
Agenda:
