• Perplexity
  • Diffusion models, also known as score-based generative models, have gained significant attention in the field of generative AI due to their ability to produce high-quality samples across various domains. Here are some well-known gradient-driven diffusion model-based algorithms:
    • Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPM): Proposed by Ho et al. (2020), DDPM is a pioneering work that introduced the concept of denoising diffusion probabilistic models for image generation.[1] It formulates the generation process as a sequence of denoising steps, where a neural network is trained to predict the noise that was added to the data at each step. By iteratively removing the predicted noise, the model can generate high-fidelity samples from pure noise.
    • Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs): Introduced by Rombach et al. (2022), LDMs aim to address the computational challenges of DDPM by operating in a compressed latent space instead of the high-dimensional pixel space.[2] An autoencoder is first trained to map images to a lower-dimensional latent representation, and then a diffusion model is trained on this latent space. This approach significantly reduces the computational cost while maintaining high-quality image generation.
    • Stable Diffusion Algorithm: Stable Diffusion, introduced by Rombach et al. (2022), is a popular implementation of LDMs that incorporates cross-attention layers, enabling the model to condition on various inputs, such as text prompts or bounding boxes.[2] This versatility has made Stable Diffusion a widely adopted tool for text-to-image synthesis, image editing, and other creative applications.
    • Guided Diffusion Model: Guided diffusion models, proposed by Dhariwal and Nichol (2021), introduce a way to control the generation process by conditioning the diffusion model on additional guidance.[3] This guidance can take various forms, such as class labels, text prompts, or reference images, allowing for more targeted and controllable generation.
    • Classifier-Free Guidance :Classifier-Free Guidance, introduced by Ho and Salimans (2022), is a technique that enables better control over the generation process without relying on a separate classifier.[4] It works by adjusting the cross-attention maps of the diffusion model during sampling, effectively steering the generation towards desired characteristics without the need for an additional classifier network.
