The denoising score-matching objective gives DDPM a stable training regime compared to GANs, and the resulting sample quality matched or exceeded the state of the art. DDPM is the pixel-space origin of the entire diffusion stack: Stable Diffusion, AnimateDiff, Video LDM and the Motion Diffusion Model all build on its mathematical foundation. It is the paper courses name when introducing diffusion models to creative-AI students.}, keywords = {generative-ai, image-generation}, note = {AI \& Animation Education Knowledge Base} }
