Excited to share our work on Video Interpolation with Diffusion Models. vidim-interpolation.github.io VIDIM generates plausible short videos given a start and end frame. Joint work with @watson_nn, @erictabellion , @holynski_ , @poolio and @jannekontkanen
Very excited to share VIDIM, our diffusion model for video interpolation. Cheap and high quality video diffusion will become a reality. I have also believed for a while now that using pixels as inputs is severely underrated-- there is so much more signal in there v.s. text.

Fast sampling with 'Multistep Consistency Models': We get 1.6 FID on Imagenet64 in 4 steps and scale text-to-image models, generating 256x256 images with 16 steps. Guess which row is distilled? With @emiel_hoogeboom @TimSalimans Arxiv: arxiv.org/abs/2403.06807

AlphaFold lecture slides are here: amyxlu.github.io/data/alphafold… Truly believe in AlphaFold as an AlexNet moment for biology, to endure for its empirical validation of the computational ingredients it propounds rather than (just) as a tool. Super fun to do this deep dive 🧬
Putting together a 1.5 hour lecture on AlphaFold -- does anyone have pointers to existing course content? Hoping to do a deep dive into the ingredients that can be ported over to other models, for e.g. at the level of explaining IPA, FAPE, etc. with mathematical precision

One problem with finding ML talent since the bitter lesson is that ML is now distributed systems and statistics and our university system wasn't setup to produce people who are good at both.

"Let d in [0,1], and X,Y~Bern(d) be independent random variables." See how that feels? Who's in pain, now?
So, at some point one has to pick a symbol to denote the dimension. Fair. I can understand n (theoretical computer science baggage). I can understand d (alphabetical reasons). I *could* understand k (if n and d are taken already, maybe). But p? Why p? WHAT? We need to talk.
