How Diffusion Models Achieve Generalization: Insights from a CVPR 2026 Tutorial

Diffusion models have set the state‑of‑the‑art in image, video, and audio generation, yet their training objective admits a unique closed‑form solution that merely memorizes training data; this tutorial examines why they still generalize by exploring score smoothing, architectural inductive bias, training dynamics, and data geometry, all illustrated with hands‑on Jupyter notebooks.
