Course Overview
Actually I think this course provides a great introduction to diffusion models. It covers the basics of diffusion models. This course is relative light on the math, and focuses more on the intuition and practical implementation of diffusion models. The lectures are very well organized and easy to follow.
However, I think the course just offers a simple introduction to diffusion models, and everything should be revised much more deeply again. If wanna have a deeper understanding of diffusion models, I think it’s necessary to read some papers and blogs which may contribute to a deeper comprehension.
