Do you want to learn Bayesian inference, stay up to date or simply want to understand what Bayesian inference is? Then this podcast is for you! You'll hear from researchers and practitioners of all fields about how they use Bayesian statistics, and how in turn YOU can apply these methods in your modeling workflow. When I started learning Bayesian methods, I really wished there were a podcast out there that could introduce me to the methods, the projects and the people who make all that possible. So I created \"Learning Bayesian Statistics\", where you'll get to hear how Bayesian statistics are used to detect black matter in outer space, forecast elections or understand how diseases spread and can ultimately be stopped. But this show is not only about successes -- it's also about failures, because that's how we learn best. So you'll often hear the guests talking about what *didn't* work in their projects, why, and how they overcame these challenges. Because, in the end, we're all lifelong learners! My name is Alex Andorra by the way. By day, I'm a Senior data scientist. By night, I don't (yet) fight crime, but I'm an open-sour…","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/learning-bayesian-statistics"},"episode":{"title":"BITESIZE | How Do Diffusion Models Work?","slug":"bitesize-how-do-diffusion-models-work","published_at":"2026-02-19T18:15:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/learning-bayesian-statistics/bitesize-how-do-diffusion-models-work","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/learning-bayesian-statistics","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/41c07d4ddd3c841dc2b98cb0a717eb30cfa949619b42c19b5ec7942e39e71141/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiJlODZhNGEwMi1hNDFlLTQ3NmMtYTM1MS1mMGM4M2VlNjJjMmMiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI3OWUwYTRmYi05N2FiLTRlOTUtYTg3NS0yNGE4YjllZTI3ZGEiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2NDQ4M2JiZWM3ZjQ1MTFhYThjMzE1Y2QiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjk5NzRmODczNjM3MmEyZGQ1NTg1NGViL2FsZXhhbmRyZS1hbmRvcnJhcy1zdHVkaW8tY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi0yLTE5X18xOC01OS0zNS5tcDMifQ==.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/41c07d4ddd3c841dc2b98cb0a717eb30cfa949619b42c19b5ec7942e39e71141/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiJlODZhNGEwMi1hNDFlLTQ3NmMtYTM1MS1mMGM4M2VlNjJjMmMiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI3OWUwYTRmYi05N2FiLTRlOTUtYTg3NS0yNGE4YjllZTI3ZGEiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2NDQ4M2JiZWM3ZjQ1MTFhYThjMzE1Y2QiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNjk5NzRmODczNjM3MmEyZGQ1NTg1NGViL2FsZXhhbmRyZS1hbmRvcnJhcy1zdHVkaW8tY29tcG9zZXItMjAyNi0yLTE5X18xOC01OS0zNS5tcDMifQ==.mp3","summary":"Today's clip is from Episode 151 of the podcast, with Jonas Arruda In this conversation, Jonas Arruda explains how diffusion models generate data by learning to reverse a noise process. The idea is to start from a simple distribution like Gaussian noise and gradually remove noise until the target distribution emerges. This is done through a forward process that adds noise to clean parameters and a backward process that learns how to undo that corruption. A noise schedule controls how much noise is added or removed at each step, guiding the transformation from pure randomness back to meaningful structure.
