Daily Note: 10 November 2026

Today I had a fantastic class for Probabilistic Machine Learning where we discussed the different perspectives on Diffusion Models. It’s been a good while since I covered any fluid flow, but it was cool to see the “flow matching” view of diffusion again. I also revisited the Step-by-Step Diffusion: An Elementary Tutorial by Apple (arxiv) which I greatly enjoyed. Next term, if I get some time, I’d love to sit-in on some Stochastic Differential Equations lectures. There’s some beautiful mathematics there that I’ve only had the opportunity to catch glimpses of to-date.

I enjoyed a lovely sit-down dinner at Leckhamton and finished off the evening working on my proposal in the GTB Library. I think I’ve got a solid project idea, I just need to polish it up and submit it to my supervisors for review!

Until tomorrow.
