Decoupled Diffusion Transformers: Accelerating High-Fidelity Image Generation via Semantic-Detail Separation and Encoder Sharing…
Decoupled Diffusion Transformers: Accelerating High-Fidelity Image Generation via Semantic-Detail Separation and Encoder Sharing Diffusion Transformers have demonstrated outstanding performance in image generation tasks, surpassing traditional models, including GANs and autoregressive architectures. They operate by gradually adding noise to images during a forward diffusion process and then learning to reverse this process through denoising, which helps… →

Impact of a Heating Voucher on Health Outcomes in COPD Patients: A Randomised Controlled Trial
CONCLUSION: This study showed little effect of winter electricity vouchers on exacerbations of COPD. However, such vouchers increased energy use and may have reduced overall mortality. A larger study, particularly with susceptible subpopulations, is recommended to examine this mortality impact further. →
