MLStreetTalk shares Alexander Mattick's masterclass video on energy-based models, diffusion models, normalizing flows, and flow matching.
His central claim: all these generative modeling methods are fundamentally "ways of decomposing a density in a really, really general way." The talk places the whole family of modern generative approaches in a single unifying framework, making it a solid resource for anyone wanting to grasp the mathematical foundations behind diffusion and flow-based models.
