This blog post focuses on a promising new direction for generative modeling. We can learn score functions (gradients of log probability density functions) on a large number of noise-perturbed data distributions, then generate samples with Langevin-type sampling. The resulting generative models, often called score-based generative models, has several important advantages over existing model families: GAN-level sample quality without adversarial training, flexible model architectures, exact log-likelihood ...

Diffusion Models, a new generative model family, have taken the world by storm after the seminal paper by Ho et al. [2020]. While diffusion models are often described as a probabilistic Markov Chains, their underlying principle is based on the decade-old theory of Stochastic Differential Equations (SDE), as found out later by Song et al. [2021]. In this article, we will go back and revisit the 'fundamental ingredients' behind the SDE formulation and show how the idea can be 'shaped' to get to the modern form of Score-based Diffusion Models. We'll start from the very definition of the 'score', how it was used in the context of generative modeling, how we achieve the necessary theoretical guarantees and how the critical design choices were made to finally arri...

Hey guys! I recently wrote a review paper regarding the use of Machine Learning in Remote Sensing. I thought that some of you might find it interesting and insightful. It is not strictly a Python focused research paper but is interesting nonetheless. Introduction to Machine Learning and its Usage in Remote Sensing 1. Introduction Machines have allowed us to do complex computations in short amounts of time. This has given rise to an entirely different area of research which was not being explored: teachin...
