In this video we are looking at Diffusion Models from a different angle, namely through Score-Based Generative Models, which arguably can be considered as the broader family of diffusion models. Personally, this approach has helped me so much in getting a better intuition for diffusion models and how to visualize the idea and especially connect different approaches like DDPM, DDIM or EDM to one another.
