'3/4/5-levels' looks like a very powerful way of explaining concepts. I'd like to see the higher levels be longer, and really drill down into the heart of the matter. So that the final level is communicating at an expert level. +1 / subbed.

Sorry, but I don't understand something very important. WHY would you add the noise and then substract the noise? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the rightmost noise image in this example is basically an encoded image of the original dog image, that can be decoded deterministically with the neural network, in multiple steps. That's nice and dandy. And I do understand that the noise image is not like a RAR archive, which, were it to be slightly modified, would just yield corruption errors, and instead the modified noise image would still generate... an image. NOW. 1. How do you get from the user text prompt to the noise image of what the user WANTED, that will THEN be denoised (decoded)? 2. How is it so that not every OTHER noise result from the text prompt (except previously deterministically encoded images like this dog image for example) will output just a bunch of garbled mess? And yes, I know that is sometimes the case, I used Stable Diffusion daily.

now that's some quantum technology, man... Being one of the beta testers of Stable Diffusion helps me understand this even more.

Thanks so much for a useful presentation…what a good idea to present in several levels!

The way you describe it is how the get the 'original' picture back. But all the content generated is new (in that combination). I was waiting for the explanation of the step that describes how a new combination (so new content) is generated into existence from the latent space through diffusion, not only the method on how to get the starting picture back from the noise...

The video did explain this very briefly. It's as simple as creating a random noise image and feeding it into the same model you used during training. It will turn it into a real image exactly the same way it happened during training. You just get rid of the part that turns an image into noise and use the part that turns noise into an image. You don't have to use CLIP or any text at all. That's a whole other ball game

Thank you so much for the elegant explanation.

Appreciate your explanation skill. Q. What is diffusion model Ans. Let's say you tell your best friend, Sarah, about this amazing new flavor. Sarah gets excited and tells her friend, Tom. Then Tom tells his cousin, Emily. Emily, in turn, tells her family, and the news keeps spreading from person to person, creating a chain reaction. This process of your ice cream flavor information spreading from one person to another is like how a drop of ink spreads in water. At first, it's just a small spot, but then it spreads out and covers more and more area as time goes on. In the diffusion model, experts study how things, whether it's information, ideas, or products like your ice cream flavor, spread through a community of people. They try to understand how fast it spreads, how many people it reaches, and what factors influence its spread. By understanding these patterns, they can learn a lot about how people share and adopt new things!

Diffusion models actually predict a bit of noise to remove from the input noisy image at inference time. The noise is added to images just to produce training data.

Thank You !

Regarding level 3. Is every single pixel diffused at each step, or there is a subset that is randomly chosen? Is the sampling separate for every pixel or we take one value and then multiply it by each pixel? Subsequent diffusions work on the already diffused value, I guess (we don't try to remember what was the mean of the original pixel, but just use the new one)?

Wow, this is really great, it definitely helped me understand how these models are working. However I did have one question. In your explanation of how a gaussian noise was created for an image, I was a bit confused. As i have had to generate an image of pure noise following a gaussian distribution before, but in those cases I just generated it by for each pixel, calling a function to get some random number generated following a gaussian noise distribution, usually centered where 0.5 would say be the zero value for that distrution, and so basically remapping the -1 to 1 distribution to be 0 to 1. ie Xnew = (X/2) + 0.5. Hopefully that makes sense. But the way you described it sounded like the noise was created by placing a sort of splat on the image following say a guassian distribution, and then place down subsequence splats in positions that are based on that first previous splats position on the image. I guess this is needed so you can generated all the inbetween time steps from image to pure noise. Rather then just teh final image.. But I didn't quite get exactly how you are creating the noise. For example are you actually splatting a sort of guassian distrution that happens over several pixels for each position, or is it just effecting that one pixel. I could see it happenign both ways and wasn't quite certain from your explanation which one was happening. ie do you come up with the position, then on that pixel just create one value that follows the guassian distrution curve to pick it's value. Or are you placing some splat that at it's center is say the brightest, but falls off to zero, following a gaussian distribution curve? If the latter then how wide is that, ie what would be the radius in pixels for that? And in either case, how is that mixed with the image? Do you multiply the image by the value in that pixel from the noise you generated, or do you mix between them? I doubt anyone with read this, as it's quite a long comment/question for a yoututbe video, but thought it woudln't hurt to try, as I am very interested in how these models work, and the under the hood details...

Great explanation, easy to follow. So in essence, the first step is fixed, then is variable for the decoding if I understand it right?

Can you post a follow up explanation on how the text conditionalized generation works. Like Imagen I quess for example used T5 but how actually that text embedding affects the generated image and how it is trained. Cause in the end we have a system where the "noise" is generated with some text embedding so I am curious how that process works

Anyone else see a horse in this drop of paint? 1:00

Having just watched 5 videos on this, umm, "topic?" I feel as if I have been in a coma for 25 years. I am looking for the simplest possible explanation on how this whole AI thing works, yet there don't seem to be any videos that can explain that without using already established terminology that, to me, is completely foreign. Your video is obviously well made, and you are good at explaining this, especially with the example of a drop of paint in water, but I am obviously so far from even beginning anything beyond. Apart from understanding "noise", I have no clue as to what "diffusion", or "model" or anything means. I could always watch videos on any topic, i.e. quantum physics, rocket science, robotics, or anything, and get the basic idea, but this time I feel like I'm years behind... If you could make a video explaining this as if you would explain it to someone in kindergarten, I would definitely come back and watch

what role do images in the training set play? are diffusion models violating copyright or not?

This depends on the data the model is trained on! There is not only one specific diffusion model instead you can train as much models as you like.

@AssemblyAI Why 255 (Probability Density Graph), does it have to do with binary? Network Engineer here, and I am trying to draw correlations between IP address ranges being 255 and subnet ranges being 255 and the graph you displayed. They all have binary masks in common hence why I am asking.

It has to do with binary indeed. 0-255 just represents all the 8-bit values possible. When dealing with standard colored pixels we have an 8-bit value for each of the red, green and blue values. Having a 24-bit value for each pixel is simply the standard, it already gives 16+ million unique colors that are possible for a pixel. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_monochrome_and_RGB_color_formats#24-bit_RGB

The explanation of adding noise was well done, but the reverse process--by far the strangest process--was not really explained at all. You introduced, but did not explain, some learning process. This unexplained process "somehow" gets back the image. Every "explanation" of SD always skips over this step! Why? (Also skipped, how the text prompt is "combined" with the image. Folks mumble about CL??, but never clearly explain it.) You are a very very good presenter. Please take 15 minutes to "explain" SD.

@RTukka

Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I am having this frustration as well, except I think I may understood the concepts more poorly than you. Regarding the process of how the Level 4 part "somehow" gets back to the image, it could be because UNets are just really complicated, so it almost has to be handwaved? Every explanation I've seen of them (which is not many) immediately descends into highly technical language. It's evidently a step wise process but I don't understand really anything about what is happening in each of those steps, and what data is used during them. I also don't think I understand the point of _gradually_ adding noise to the original image if you just end up with 100% noise at the end, and then that's where the denoising process starts. Exactly when and how are the partially noised images used? In the UNet? If this is the case, either the explanations of UNets I've seen are missing that info, or they're explaining it in a way that I completely fail to comprehend. In addition, the explanations I've seen tend to use a single image as an example of how the model is trained. But I understand that these models are trained on many images. So the steps laid out in this video are repeated on thousands of images to train the model to generate an image of a dog (or any image??), but how is information from repeating that process combined into the algorithm or latent space or whatever? Do you start with a virgin model or some generalized model or latent space, which then gets modified when you train it on the first image, and then you carry those modifications over when you train the next image? It seems like that ought to be how it works, but if it is, I think a great explanation for how this stuff works would make that explicit. And then, yeah, how do text prompts work? Both at a basic level, with just a single word prompt like "dog," but also, how are complicated multi-prompt words managed? (I imagine many of the common "mistakes" of diffusion models might be illustrative.)

A U-Net is a standardized deep-learning model that takes the image as an input and has another image (with the same dimensions) as an output. It is trained the conventional way with the so called gradient decent algorithm that aims to minimizes the least squared error loss function. In this case, the model aims to predict a mask of the image which represents the noise that was added to the previous step so that we can simply substract that noise from the noisy image to get back to the original image. I hope that was at least somewhat helpful? :)

Stick to applied ML then. In that case you can make use of existing frameworks and libraries to implement models for solving problems, without knowing the working under the hood. 1. But if you do want to understand the math, the only way is to refer to better learning resources, and keep trying iteratively. Often, it's not the math alone, but the way it is being taught, that makes a whole lot of difference in one's understanding. For eg, back in grad school, I used to refer to Salman Khan's math videos to get the actual understanding of linear algebra concepts (which could not be attained even after reading a few standard books) 2. Having said that, each one of us has to maintain a trade-off in math deep dive vs actual implementation. No ones knows all things a 100%

Wow! There’s another video if yours below this one, and your hair is so different that I didn’t recognize that it’s you.

In the level 1 explanation, what’s the point of introducing the phrase “thermodynamic equilibrium”? Most lay people understand what it means when we say food coloring diffuses into clear water. Reminding the viewer why that happens from a physics standpoint makes the level 1 explanation less clear, not more clear.

Fine, you add noise to an image and then restore it. VERY simple concepts (even if very hard in practice). But the magic of DALL-E, Midjourney & Stable Diffusion is the creation of NEW images. This is the third video I'm watching that explains the same trivial diffusion concept. Guess I'll have to ask ChatGPT instead.
