">> Well, we just got back from Nurups. We just spent a lot of time talking to researchers and thinking about all the newest models out there. Um, I think we saw diffusion pop up over and over and newe..."

"diffusion used for today? What are some applications that it's widely deployed in? >> It's honestly surprising how uh uh applicable this process is. I think the the original 2015 Joshua Sixine paper w..."

">> This class of models has evolved over the years and you know there's a whole slew of papers someone could read. So you should probably go read the papers to learn all the details. But maybe at a hi..."
