Introduction
Diffusion generative models learn heterogeneous visual concepts and create high-quality text-conditioned images. Recent developments extend diffusion models to video generation for entertainment or intelligent decision-making simulation.
The announcement of SORA spurred a surge of proprietary and open-source video diffusion models for various generation problems.
Several commercial AI video generation tools gain attention for their unique features.
To get around this limitation, many works have adapted a hierarchical upsampling technique whereby they first generate spaced-out key frames.
However, this poses a limitation of this approach since labeled video data is relatively difficult to come by.
Research Question
The objective learns to reverse the forward noising process at corresponding noise levels. The training objective involves a uniform distribution over discrete indices.
The variables in the training objective are defined by the noise level and weighting function.
The objective involves a uniform distribution over the time interval.
Methodology
We categorize each model according to one main task. In practice, this method in itself is not sufficient for preserving the more fine-grained structure of the input video and is therefore usually augmented with other techniques.
Study Design
Since 2012, the same data set has been used for the main image classification task.
To ensure a minimal level of correspondence between the images and their associated alt-texts, the pairs have been filtered by the following method: Images and texts have both been encoded through a pre-trained CLIP model and pairs with a low cosine CLIP similarity have been excluded.

While different techniques have been explored to reduce the computational burden , most models are still limited to generating video sequences that are no longer than a few seconds even on high-end GPUs.
In order to circumvent this limitation, auto-regressive extension and temporal upsampling methods have been proposed (see Section 5.2) to enhance the duration and frame rate of the generated videos.
Practical Applications
Publicly available video data sets are usually unlabeled, and human-annotated labels may not even accurately describe the complex relationship between spatial and temporal information. However, completely unconstrained edit requests may be in conflict with desirable temporal properties of a video, leading to a major challenge of how to balance temporal consistency and editability (see Section 5.3).
Due to the similarity in architecture for image and video UNets, these methods could readily be adapted to the video domain.
Further advances in video world modelling could lead to similar techniques being scaled towards real-world settings.
, see Section 6.1) tend to be smaller than pure image data sets and may include only a limited range of content.
Mathematical Formulation
The mathematical formulation of diffusion generative models is reviewed, explaining the forward and backward processes involving noise injection and denoising. It outlines the training of a denoising network and introduces two families of formulations: denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPM) and score-based models (SBM).
Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Model (DDPM) Formulation
This section summarizes the formalization of the unconditioned DDPM process, detailing the forward diffusion process and the reverse denoising process. It explains the Markov property and the Gaussian transition probabilities involved in both processes.
