  1. "To generate images, diffusion models use a process known as denoising. They convert an image into digital noise (an incoherent collection of pixels), then reassemble it. It’s like repeatedly putting a painting through a shredder until all you have left is a pile of fine dust, then patching the pieces back together. For years, researchers have wondered: If the models are just reassembling, then how does novelty come into the picture? It’s like reassembling your shredded painting into a completely new work of art.

    Now two physicists have made a startling claim: It’s the technical imperfections in the denoising process itself that leads to the creativity of diffusion models. In a paper(opens a new tab) that will be presented at the International Conference on Machine Learning 2025, the duo developed a mathematical model of trained diffusion models to show that their so-called creativity is in fact a deterministic process — a direct, inevitable consequence of their architecture.

    By illuminating the black box of diffusion models, the new research could have big implications for future AI research — and perhaps even for our understanding of human creativity. “The real strength of the paper is that it makes very accurate predictions of something very nontrivial,” said Luca Ambrogioni(opens a new tab), a computer scientist at Radboud University in the Netherlands."

  2. Wait, three of the Technical Oscars went to different denoising algorithms? That seems like a lot. Maybe this should be a new category.

  5. "Binlets: Data fusion-aware denoising enables accurate and unbiased quantification of multichannel signals", Silberberg & Grecco, 2023 sciencedirect.com/science/arti

    Old school signal processing, not based on machine learning but instead on a translation-invariant Haar wavelet decomposition, profitably exploiting correlations across channels. The manuscript includes an accessible and brief "Theory" section and a longer appendix. All it needs to run is a test function between two data points.

    In their benchmarks and use cases, the new method outperforms existing denoising methods. In both time series and on fluorescent microscopy images.

    There's a repository available github.com/maurosilber/binlets and can be installed with `pip install binlets`.

  15. Now the PhD is done, I'm spending these days digitising old family footage (VHS and other tape formats) 🤓

    Any tips to restore/upscale old footage with minimal loss? Here is an image showing the low resolution available.

    I've tried #nlmeans #denoising but it removes detail. If there's any open source AI solution for #upscaling, please let me know!

    I have just finished this #experiment, in which 310 pictures have been generated with the same seed, only difference is the amount of samples, which increased progressively from 1 to 310.

    These generations have then been upscaled using the realest-general-x4v3 upscaler model and #ComfyUI as software.

    This the result:

  25. Here's a idea for #AI #NLP #developers.

    Create a #StableDiffusion dataset, which contains one #english word each pixel color, and a large set of images correlates which words are often used with each other.

    Teach a diffusion set, with these words, then let #denoising find the answer to any text prompt, transforming pixels to words.

    I know, it might sound stupid, but what a fun #experiment it would be.

    Feel free to use my #idea. If it works, #attribute me 😁

    Jesus Christ - "Our two-stage distillation approach is able to generate realistic images using only 1 to 4 steps on various tasks. Compared to the standard classifier-free guided diffusion models, ***we reduce the total number of sampling steps by at least 20X***."

    (Hopefully it won't be insanely slow per-step, or glitch-prone)

  28. #Denoising as well. And much more.

    (I'm particularly impressed by transfer of painting style, but this "bread and butter" stuff is really much more useful.)

  29. AFAIK Audacity uses GWC code for denoising?
    sourceforge.net/projects/gwc/
    I wonder if there are any other free software sound noise removal programs out there (I know of Noise Repellent LV2 plug-in already).
