This short workshop provides a practical introduction to the theory and application of deep diffusion models. Essential mathematical concepts are included and explained in a self-contained manner. We emphasize developing an intuitive understanding of both foundational and modern concepts, enabling participants to engage effectively with current literature in the field.
Workshop lecturer: Prof. Chun-Biu Li (Stockholm University)

Registration: workshop size of <20 people, and the organizers intend to maximize the number of participating research groups in the diverse research disciplines. We might restrict the number of participants from each research group. A $3000 NTD security deposit is required for selected participants and will be returned on the last day of the workshop upon full participation.
