Diffusion Models: Revolutionizing Content Generation

The Diffusion Process

Understand how to transform noise into art through the reverse diffusion process

From Noise to Perfection

Diffusion Models work through a two-step process: first, they gradually add noise to an image until it becomes pure noise (forward process).

Then, they learn to reverse this process, removing noise step by step to generate new images from random noise (reverse process).

The revolutionary result: generation of photorealistic images controlled by text, with quality comparable to human creation.

Reverse Diffusion Process

x_{t-1} = μ_θ(x_t, t) + σ_t z

At each timestep t, the model predicts how to remove noise: μ_θ is the predicted mean, σ_t is the variance and z is gaussian noise

How to implement and use Diffusion Models in your projects

Simplified Diffusion Model

Basic implementation of the diffusion process using PyTorch. This code shows how the model learns to remove noise progressively.
