☆最流行的AIGC技術介紹 ☆Diffusion Model的基礎 ☆擴散模型的高效採樣 ☆擴散模型的似然最大化 ☆將擴散模型應用於具有特殊結構的資料 ☆擴散模型與其他生成模型的連結 ☆擴散模型的應用 ☆GPT及大型語言模型 人工智慧創造內容的浪潮已來臨，其中包括兩項關鍵技術：大模型技術（如ChatGPT）和擴散模型技術（如Midjourney等AI繪畫）。這些技術背後的深度生成模型可以根據現有資料和程式生成新資料。在現實世界中，資料通常維度高、分佈複雜，尤其是圖像資料，它們在二維空間中的像素點之間存在著複雜的互動關係。這對傳統模型擬合資料分佈提出了挑戰。人們希望AI生成的內容既真實又新穎，不僅是複製既有內容。擴散模型能夠捕捉複雜的資料分佈，產生真實且創新的內容，並實現高效的個性化生產，因此受到廣泛關注。本書為少數從理論及實作上都兼顧的教材，對當今AI狂潮席捲的新時代來說，不想被AI取代的你，這本書是最好的起點。 本書介紹了許多當今重要擴散模型的技術，第1章介紹AIGC與相關技術，第2章從三個角度介紹擴散模型的基本理論、演算法，此外介紹了擴散模型的神經網路架構和程式實踐。第3章、第4章、第5章分別從擴散模型的高效採樣、擴散模型的似然最大化、將擴散模型應用於具有特殊結構的資料三個方面系統介紹擴散模型的特點，以及後續的改進工作。第6章討論了擴散模型與其他生成模型的連結，包括變分自編碼器、生成對抗網路、歸一化流、自回歸模型和基於能量的模型。第7章介紹了擴散模型的應用。第8章討論了擴散模型的未來——GPT及和大型語言模型。

Health is not just the absence of disease.In an era when living to 100 is becoming more common,our concept of ageing must evolve. While Hong Kong people enjoy the world's longest life expectancy, an important question arises: Are we truly achieving healthy ageing? In this book, Professor Jean Woo addresses a diverse array of challenges associated with the elderly population in Hong Kong society, including issues like elderly poverty, unfriendly community designs, unfair stigmatization faced by seniors, and late-life loneliness. Drawing on extensive research and clinical experience, she advocates for self-care, education, and empowerment, encouraging us to move beyond dependence on doctors and medications. Ageing is inevitable, yet we can control how we age. --------------------------------------------------------------By 2046, 36% of Hong Kongers will be ‘older adults’. Take Charge of Your Own Ageing is a timely publication to remind our society about the significan
