  1. WaveNet: A generative model for raw audio

    Aäron van den Oord, Sander Dieleman · Google DeepMind

    WaveNet’s central claim is that generating raw audio directly can bring synthesized speech closer to human speech, while letting the same model generate music.

  2. Diffusion Models for Video Generation

    Lilian Weng

    Video diffusion must keep objects and motion coherent across frames, not just make convincing individual images; limited high-quality video data makes that harder.

  3. What are Diffusion Models?

    Lilian Weng

    Diffusion models combine analytical tractability with flexibility, but pay for it with a long, expensive sampling chain.

  4. The Illustrated Stable Diffusion

    Jay Alammar

    Stable Diffusion generates text-guided images by repeatedly predicting and removing noise in compressed latent space, then decoding the result into pixels. Latent-space processing speeds the work; attention brings prompt information into denoising.
