Best intro to Diffusion ever. I bet this video is better than 80% of the introductory courses in college.
@amimaster
Wow, finally someone that makes evident EVERY math step, as simple as it might. In my career I rarely found someone that can make math so accessible, I often get lost after the first one or two "implied" steps.
@Cyan-g2g
Wow! I did not expect this video to go this deep. But this is awesome! Please make more in depth explanation like this. It’s clear a lot of hard work went into it and the animation is sooo elegant
@pavanpreetgandhi6763
This video was absolutely fantastic—I feel like I’ve finally learned about diffusion models the right way! I really appreciated how you started from the basics, gradually building up concepts and intuition, while clearly explaining the math at every step. It took me a few hours to get through the entire video, but the length and pace were perfect—there’s nothing I would change. Everything was covered so thoroughly. Thank you for the effort you put into this, and I’m excited to see more videos from you in the future!
@huytruonguic
love your mathematics explanation and visualization, no fancy transitions were needed, just slow, simple, and clear english phrases
@venkatbalachandra5965
I absolutely love how you started from scratch, as in what the underlying PDF was. I'm working on a project on diffusion models and I don't know anything about it, and all the resources available are catered towards those with prerequisites I don't have yet, until this one. I haven't yet watched the whole thing, but I'm going to keep coming back to this till I understand everything in this video. Cheers mate!
@arpanpoudel
I used Score-SDE in my thesis and I have my defense next week :D what a timing
@novantha1
Your videos are somehow simultaneously timely and timeless. Your content is absolutely appreciated and I wish you the best in your endeavors.

For people wondering why it's ok to use the first order the taylor expansion at 32:26 The full expansion will be: 1− (1/2) β_t - (1/8) (β_t)^2 .... So if β_t is small then all the future terms are much smaller and become almost 0. The range from the original DDPM paper was 10^-4 to 0.02, so the first order approximation dominates
@UmbrabbitMagnolia
I have watched this video for three times, may watch this video again. Thank you.
@JieXia-n4d
This is my first time commenting, and I just want to say this is the best diffusion model video I've ever seen. Thank you so much!
@jimlbeaver
It was like a lifetime of mathematics in 38 minutes! You clearly having understanding of it in a talent for explaining it. I’d love to see you keep going on the diffusion stuff. Seems like a really important technology and the more people that understand it and use it the better. Thanks great job.
@seismicoracle
Kudos for taking the mathematical route generally avoided by most online courses and proponents. If you could incorporate a few more simple graphs and figures to provide a complementary visual explanation of the math (a lot of work, I know) this will indeed be an outstanding resource!
@shivamshukla3374
well explained video, shut out to your hardwork man, you are doing fabulous work, keep it up definely we want more videos on diffusion models like this explaining the in depth concepts.
@nocomment000
Thank you so much for walking thru the full derivation. It is a huge help in understanding the score matching objective.
@איילתדמור
Amazing video, thank you. I learned most of it a year ago in university but this was a great refresher which also provided me with new insights to some of the stuff. I really liked the conclusion of the Denoising Score Matching part, very beautiful.
@chocobelly
The mathematical derivation and explanation is such a lifesaver, I also never really understood the underlying meaning when reading the diffusion models but now everything clicked. Thank you so much for the videos, really enjoyed it. Please make more of such videos. Liked and subscribed : ).
@italoamaya8230
Amazing Video!!! I really recommend for the math heavy parts to color code the things in the equation. Like the logs red and the probability density functions blue. This way its easier to read them :)
@wolfeinstien313
This is the best explanation of score based models, I imagine I will be rewatching this video over and over. I have also always struggled to understand where some of the Maths results in the big papers come from, you do a very good job demystifying that. I can say I have a much more intuitive understanding of score based models now. I hope to see more deep dives on similar topics (can I suggest "Flow matching for generative modelling" Arxiv - 2210.02747? I would love to see your take on it). Also very interested in more regular Yannick Kilcher style paper journal club videos (and also a discussion group to go along with it?).
