When we think about image generative models, the most notable one that comes to mind would be DALL-E2, Stable Diffusion or MidJourney. A lot of these underlying techniques were initially invented by physicists, which have become very important in machine learning.

Some of those physicists are Jascha Sohl-Dickstein, Yang Song and Jonathan Ho on diffusion model algorithm.

Let's find out what they did!
