Description

Score-based generative algorithms, particularly those leveraging score matching and denoising diffusion techniques, have achieved state-of-the-art performance in generating high-quality samples from complex, structured probability distributions. These methods are exceptionally versatile, demonstrating success across a variety of modalities, including natural images and audio. Notable implementations, such as OpenAI's SORA, showcase their power and flexibility. We will discuss some recent theoretical advances of those algorithms.
