How is the variance for a diffusion kernel derived for a diffusion model?

So I'm watching this video tutorial from CVPR this year on diffusion models, and I am confused by the variance term in the distribution on the left on the video. I understand that in the forward ...

Prooving the convergence rate of estimators (machine Learning)

I want to estimate a quantity and have two choices for estimators (they both sample from the same distribution). I suspect one of them has a higher variance and thus a slower convergence rate. I want ...

Why my classification results are correlated with the proportionality of my data?

I'm facing a problem. I'm working on mixed data model with NN (MLP & Word Embedding). My results are not pretty good. And I observed that the proportionality of my data are corelated with my ...

How does high entropy targets relate to less variance of the gradient between training cases?

I've been trying to understand the Distilling the Knowledge in a Neural Network paper by Hinton et al. But I cannot fully understand this: When the soft targets have high entropy, they provide much ...

Is there a bias-variance equivalent in unsupervised learning?

In supervised learning, bias, variance are pretty easy to calculate with labeled data. I was wondering if there's something equivalent in unsupervised learning, or like a way to estimate such things? ...

Why does this formula $\sigma^2 + \frac{1}{T}\sum_{t=1}^Tf^{\hat{W_t}}(x)^Tf^{\hat{W_t}}(x_t)-E(y)^TE(y)$ approximate the variance?

How does: $$\text{Var}(y) \approx \sigma^2 + \frac{1}{T}\sum_{t=1}^Tf^{\hat{W_t}}(x)^Tf^{\hat{W_t}}(x_t)-E(y)^TE(y)$$ approximate variance? I'm currently reading What Uncertainties Do We Need in ...
