8 Best Resources to Learn About Diffusion Models

#artificialintelligence

Text-to-image models ruled the roost in 2022. Models like DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion collectively broke the internet as most social media feeds got filled with images generated by these models. These generative models worked on the revived machine learning algorithm – diffusion models – that generate images by adding and then removing noise in an image. An artist or any regular Joe on the internet could head to these models, enter a prompt, and voila! But a machine learning enthusiast might wonder how exactly these diffusion models work.


Planning with Diffusion for Flexible Behavior Synthesis

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Model-based reinforcement learning methods often use learning only for the purpose of estimating an approximate dynamics model, offloading the rest of the decision-making work to classical trajectory optimizers. While conceptually simple, this combination has a number of empirical shortcomings, suggesting that learned models may not be well-suited to standard trajectory optimization. In this paper, we consider what it would look like to fold as much of the trajectory optimization pipeline as possible into the modeling problem, such that sampling from the model and planning with it become nearly identical. The core of our technical approach lies in a diffusion probabilistic model that plans by iteratively denoising trajectories. We show how classifier-guided sampling and image inpainting can be reinterpreted as coherent planning strategies, explore the unusual and useful properties of diffusion-based planning methods, and demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework in control settings that emphasize long-horizon decision-making and test-time flexibility.


Unsupervised Question Duplicate and Related Questions Detection in e-learning platforms

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Online learning platforms provide diverse questions to gauge the learners' understanding of different concepts. The repository of questions has to be constantly updated to ensure a diverse pool of questions to conduct assessments for learners. However, it is impossible for the academician to manually skim through the large repository of questions to check for duplicates when onboarding new questions from external sources. Hence, we propose a tool QDup in this paper that can surface near-duplicate and semantically related questions without any supervised data. The proposed tool follows an unsupervised hybrid pipeline of statistical and neural approaches for incorporating different nuances in similarity for the task of question duplicate detection. We demonstrate that QDup can detect near-duplicate questions and also suggest related questions for practice with remarkable accuracy and speed from a large repository of questions. The demo video of the tool can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loh0_-7XLW4.


Spoken Language Understanding for Conversational AI: Recent Advances and Future Direction

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

When a human communicates with a machine using natural language on the web and online, how can it understand the human's intention and semantic context of their talk? This is an important AI task as it enables the machine to construct a sensible answer or perform a useful action for the human. Meaning is represented at the sentence level, identification of which is known as intent detection, and at the word level, a labelling task called slot filling. This dual-level joint task requires innovative thinking about natural language and deep learning network design, and as a result, many approaches and models have been proposed and applied. This tutorial will discuss how the joint task is set up and introduce Spoken Language Understanding/Natural Language Understanding (SLU/NLU) with Deep Learning techniques. We will cover the datasets, experiments and metrics used in the field. We will describe how the machine uses the latest NLP and Deep Learning techniques to address the joint task, including recurrent and attention-based Transformer networks and pre-trained models (e.g. BERT). We will then look in detail at a network that allows the two levels of the task, intent classification and slot filling, to interact to boost performance explicitly. We will do a code demonstration of a Python notebook for this model and attendees will have an opportunity to watch coding demo tasks on this joint NLU to further their understanding.
