• Abstract: Diffusion generative models are currently the most popular generative models. However, their underlying modeling process is quite complex, and starting directly with the seminal paper Denoising Diffusion Probability Model (DDPM) can be challenging. This paper aims to assist readers in building a foundational understanding of generative models by tracing the evolution from VAEs to DDPM through detailed mathematical derivations and a problem-oriented analytical approach. It also explores the core ideas and improvement strategies of current mainstream methodologies, providing guidance for undergraduate and graduate students interested in learning about diffusion models.

  We propose a framework called Diff-Instruct to instruct the training of arbitrary generative models. We show that Diff-Instruct results in state-of-the-art single-step diffusion-based models. Experiments on refining GAN models show that the Diff-Instruct can consistently improve the pre-trained generators of GAN models.
