Description

Diffusion models are a widely used method in generative AI to produce images and videos. I will discuss the application to lattice field theory and the connection with methods known from theoretical physics, such as stochastic quantisation. Applications to non-abelian gauge theories using gauge-equivariant convolutional neural networks are presented.
