/ About this event

Is generative AI magic? This session makes the technology intuitive. In one focused technical hour, we'll navigate the core and intuitive ideas of modern diffusion models.

• Why diffusion models generate images from noise • The core intuition behind the "denoising" process • Where this fits in the broader genAI landscape

No fluff, just a clear walk through of the ideas supported by a tad bit of math.

Bring questions; we'll end with live Q&A.

Who it's for: industry leaders, engineers, researchers, students, and the genuinely curious. Some calculus & probability helps, but curiosity counts more.

Can't make it live? RSVP anyway, everyone registered will get the slides and a sample chapter sent to them.

Hosted by Yuri Plotkin, author of The Variational Book - https://thevariationalbook.com endorsed by researchers at DeepMind, MIT, Johns Hopkins & NYU
