Classifier-Free Guidance

Classifier-Free Guidance (CFG) steers diffusion sampling toward a condition (like a text prompt) without needing a separate classifier.

Energy-Based Models (EBM)

Energy-Based Models (EBMs) define probabilities through an energy landscape: low energy means high probability, with p(x) = exp(-E(x)) / Z.

Flow Matching

Flow matching learns a time-dependent vector field v_t(x, c) whose ODE transports simple noise to complex data, enabling fast, deterministic sampling.

Autoregressive Models

Autoregressive (AR) models represent a joint distribution by multiplying conditional probabilities in a fixed order, using the chain rule of probability.

Stochastic Differential Equations for Generation

A forward stochastic differential equation (SDE) models a state that drifts deterministically and is shaken by random Brownian noise over time.

Diffusion Models (Score-Based)

Score-based diffusion models corrupt data by gradually adding Gaussian noise and then learn to reverse this process by estimating the score, the gradient of the log-density.

Normalizing Flows

Normalizing flows transform a simple base distribution (like a standard Gaussian) into a complex target distribution using a chain of invertible functions.

Wasserstein Distance & Optimal Transport

Wasserstein distance (Earth Mover’s Distance) measures how much “work” is needed to transform one probability distribution into another by moving mass with minimal total cost.

GAN Theory & Training Dynamics

GANs frame learning as a two-player game where a generator tries to fool a discriminator, and the discriminator tries to detect fakes.

Variational Autoencoders (VAE) Theory

A Variational Autoencoder (VAE) is a probabilistic autoencoder that learns to generate data by inferring hidden causes (latent variables) and decoding them back to observations.

Maximum Likelihood & Generative Models

Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) picks parameters that make the observed data most probable under a chosen probabilistic model.
