fzy28.github.io/BSDF_diffusion… Rendering nerds! Check out Ziyang Fu's latest work, where he shows that low-dimensional, deterministic diffusion models can be useful for importance sampling in Monte Carlo rendering applications.

Mental map of Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms, and analogous machine learning (ML) algorithms [dashed = especially loose analogy]. Grey boxes are basic tools, and each arrow is annotated with the "delta" between algorithms.
