Hello #ICML2025👋, anyone up for a diffusion circle? We'll just sit down somewhere and talk shop.

🕒Join us at 3PM on Thursday July 17. We'll meet here (see photo, near the west building's west entrance), and venture out from there to find a good spot to sit. Tell your friends!

Diffusion models have analytical solutions, but they involve sums over the entire training set, and they don't generalise at all. They are mainly useful to help us understand how practical diffusion models generalise.

Nice blog + code by Raymond Fan: rfangit.github.io/blog/2025/op...

When a bunch of diffusers sit down and talk shop, their flow cannot be matched😎

It's time for the #NeurIPS2024 diffusion circle!

🕒Join us at 3PM on Friday December 13. We'll meet near this thing, and venture out from there and find a good spot to sit. Tell your friends!

Better VQ-VAEs with this one weird rotation trick!

I missed this when it came out, but I love papers like this: a simple change to an already powerful technique, that significantly improves results without introducing complexity or hyperparameters.

I was contemplating giving up on Threads and sticking with 🐦 and 🦋, where most of the action seems to be. Looks like they just made the decision for me 😂
