The theoretical foundation of diffusion models comes from non-equilibrium thermodynamic stochastic processes; they were first introduced into the field of machine learning in 2015 by Sohl-Dickstein et al. and were significantly accelerated after 2020 by OpenAI's DDPM.

UnverifiedThe mathematical foundation of diffusion models originates from the non-equilibrium thermodynamics-inspired generative model proposed by Sohl-Dickstein et al. in 2015.79% similarUnverifiedThe theoretical foundation of diffusion models was unified by Song Yang et al. in 2020 through a stochastic differential equation (SDE) framework; the discovery of probability flow ODEs enabled deterministic sampling and gave rise to accelerated sampling methods such as DDIM, compressing the number of sampling steps from 1000 to 10–50.71% similarUnverifiedThe mathematical framework of diffusion models originates from Langevin dynamics in physics, which describes particle diffusion, and was introduced into the field of generative models by researchers in 2020.70% similarUnverifiedThe technical foundations of diffusion models originate from stochastic processes in non-equilibrium thermodynamics, comprising two stages: a forward diffusion process and a reverse denoising process.70% similarUnverified2020年后兴起的扩散模型（Diffusion Models）直接建立在随机微分方程与概率流的数学框架之上66% similar
