Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) are a very popular class of deep generative model that have been successfully applied to a diverse range of problems including image and video generation, protein and material synthesis,…

Subsampling from a large data set is useful in many supervised learning contexts to provide a global view of the data based on only a fraction of the observations. Diverse (or space-filling) subsampling is an appealing subsampling approach…
