Original Highlight Excerpt

"stochastic gradient Langevin dynamics injects Gaussian noise into the parameter updates to avoid collapses into local minima."

Whisper Note

Huh, but doesn't the noise mess up the final accuracy sometimes?

Whisper Note

So it's like adding a little randomness to not get stuck, makes sense.

Original Highlight Excerpt

"Diffusion models are inspired by non-equilibrium thermodynamics."

Whisper Note

But how is that different from just adding noise, though?

Whisper Note

Makes sense why my physics background finally pays off.

So basically they're just fancy thermodynamics, huh.
