Scientists at the AI Research Centre and the Faculty of Computer Science at HSE University, the Artificial Intelligence Research Institute, and Sber AI have come up with novel architecture for diffusion neural networks, making it possible to configure eight distinct types of noise distribution. The results were presented at the NeurIPS 2023 conference.

Sound is a combination of waves surrounding us every second. And sound is also the basis upon which the track of ‘Sound Art & Sound Studies’ at HSE Art and Design School is built.
