An Explanation of 1D/2D Convolution, its Role in Feature Learning, and a Visualization Tool — It is a common practice nowadays to construct deep neural networks with a set of convolution layers. However, it was not always like this, earlier neural networks and other machine learning frameworks didn’t employ convolutions. Feature extraction and learning were two separate fields of study until recently. This is why…

Explanation of Bias-Variance Analysis, Regularization, Performance Metrics, and an Implementation of Harmonic Classifier — In the previous articles, we have discussed various Machine Learning methods for classification tasks. We have also used terms like Regularization, Overfitting and Underfitting repeatedly. In this article, we shall go through these terms in detail and show how you can circumvent such problems. Furthermore, we shall also discuss various…

An Easy Guide to Latent Diffusion Models — In this article you will learn about a recent advancement in Image Generation domain. More specifically, you will learn about the Latent Diffusion Models (LDM) and their applications. This article will build upon the concepts of GANs, Diffusion Models and Transformers. …

Understanding the Basics of Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models — 1. Introduction In the recent past, I have talked about GANs and VAEs as two important Generative Models that have found a lot of success and recognition. GANs work great for multiple applications however, they are difficult to train, and their output lack diversity due to several challenges such as…
