diffusion

But recall that the Smithsonian’s mission was and is “the increase and diffusion of knowledge” — not advancing a particular understanding of America’s racial past or even to celebrate a myopic view our founding.

"The fundamental assumptions that led to the AI diffusion rule in the beginning, in the first place, have been proven to be fundamentally flawed," he told reporters.

But diffusion models underperform at directly generating realistic 3D shapes because there are not enough 3D data to train them.

One of the researchers' key insights was that generative AI models, such as diffusion models, could be used for ensemble climate projections.

"For example, it influences diffusion and thermal properties of clays and claystones. Such properties are relevant for geothermal energy as well as host rocks in nuclear waste repositories," says Kühn.
