arXiv:2606. 04324v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: One of the primary challenges in Bayesian inference on the parameters of a diffusion model from discrete observations is the unavailability of an analytical expression for the transition density function between consecutive observation times, which is needed to derive the likelihood function.

arXiv:2603. 18907v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We propose a new Neural Galerkin Normalizing Flow framework to approximate the transition probability density function of a diffusion process by solving the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation with an atomic initial distribution, parametrically with respect to the location of the initial mass.

The book "The Principles of Diffusion Models" outlines the foundational concepts behind diffusion models, tracing their evolution from a forward process that corrupts data into noise to a reverse process that reconstructs data. It presents three complementary perspectives—variational, score-based, and flow-based—each describing how a time-dependent velocity field transports a simple prior to the data distribution. The text also covers practical guidance for controllable generation, efficient solvers, and diffusion-inspired flow-map models, providing a mathematically grounded framework for readers with basic deep‑learning knowledge.
