Dyfuzja w przestrzeni ukrytej (Stable Diffusion) (Latent diffusion (Stable Diffusion)): Diffusion performed in an autoencoder's compressed latent space rather than directly in pixel space, reducing computation; text conditioning can be implemented through cross-attention. This design is used by Latent Diffusion models, including Stable Diffusion.
Sterowanie promptem bez klasyfikatora (classifier-free guidance) (Classifier-free guidance): A technique to strengthen adherence to the prompt: one model learns to generate with and without the condition (dropped randomly in training), and at sampling time the output is pushed toward the conditional version. The guidance scale is the familiar “prompt fidelity vs diversity” knob.
Zaszumianie i odszumianie krok po kroku (DDPM) (Forward noising and learned denoising (DDPM)): The basic construction of denoising diffusion probabilistic models: a forward process gradually adds noise to data, while a model learns to reverse the corruption, often by predicting the added noise. Sampling-step count affects cost and quality, and separate fast-sampling or distillation techniques can reduce it.
