"The Principles of Diffusion Models" by Chieh-Hsin Lai, Yang Song, Dongjun Kim, Yuki Mitsufuji, Stefano Ermon. arxiv.org/abs/2510.21890
It might not be the easiest intro to diffusion models, but this monograph is an amazing deep dive into the math behind them and all the nuances
The Principles of Diffusion Models
This monograph presents the core principles that have guided the development of diffusion models, tracing their origins and showing how diverse formulations arise from shared mathematical ideas. Diffu...

New paper on arXiv! And I think it's a good'un 😄

Meet the new Lattice Random Walk (LRW) discretisation for SDEs. It’s radically different from traditional methods like Euler-Maruyama (EM) in that each iteration can only move in discrete steps {-δₓ, 0, δₓ}.

My memory is that I have a few mostly-written drafts waiting in the wings on HackMD, and I'll try to upload them soon.

I'm also thinking about writing exercises which might be fun for me to explore, e.g. picking some topic from a list and taking <30 mins to write a personal impression / overview.
