6. How Diffusion Models Work | Andrew Ng | DeepLearning.ai - Full Course

description
The course comes from [https://learn.deeplearning.ai/diffusion-models](https://learn.deeplearning.ai/diffusion-models) created by Andrew Ng This course, taught by Sharon Zhou, covers how diffusion models work. The course introduces how to generate images according to prompts by algorithms such as halfway and steady diffusion, and emphasizes the specific implementation process of these algorithms. Learners will understand the current state and capabilities of the diffusion model, starting with pure noise and refining step by step to produce the final image. Courses include developing programming skills to effectively train diffusion models, building neural networks to predict noise in images, and accelerating the sampling process by implementing advanced algorithms.
