Diffusion map
Diffusion map is a nonlinear dimensionality reduction method introduced by Ronald Coifman and Stéphane Lafon in 2006 that embeds high-dimensional data by running a random walk on a similarity graph.
Diffusion maps
Diffusion maps are a nonlinear manifold learning method introduced by Ronald Coifman and Stéphane Lafon in 2006, in which a random walk on the data yields eigenfunction coordinates describing its geometry.
Diffusion model
A diffusion model, also called a diffusion probabilistic model, is a generative neural network that produces data by learning to reverse a gradual noising process step by step.
Diffusion policies for robot control
A diffusion policy is a robot visuomotor control method that iteratively denoises random noise into chunks of future actions, introduced at Columbia University in March 2023.
Diffusion samplers and solvers
Diffusion samplers and solvers are the numerical integration methods that turn a trained diffusion model's learned denoising directions into generated images or audio, deciding the speed–quality trade-off of every deployment.
Diffusion sampling (machine learning)
Diffusion sampling is the iterative procedure a diffusion model uses to turn random noise into images, audio, or other data, applying a denoising network repeatedly.
Diffusion transformer
A diffusion transformer (DiT) is a diffusion model whose denoising network is built from transformer blocks rather than a U-Net, established by William Peebles and Saining Xie in 2022.
Diffusion transformers (DiT)
A diffusion transformer (DiT) is a diffusion model using a Vision Transformer backbone, introduced by Peebles and Xie in 2022 and used in Sora and Stable Diffusion 3.
Dify
Dify is an open-source platform by LangGenius for building applications and agents on large language models, offering visual workflows, RAG pipelines, and model management; open-sourced in 2023, it counts Maersk and Novartis among its enterprise users.
Digest access authentication
Digest access authentication, also known as Digest authentication, is an HTTP challenge–response scheme, defined in RFC 2069 in 1997, that lets a client prove password knowledge without sending it in the clear.
Digg
Digg is a social news website launched in 2004 where users submit links and vote on them, popularizing the up-vote model later adopted by Reddit.
DigiLocker
DigiLocker is India's government-operated digital document wallet, launched in 2015, where over 570 million users store official documents like driving licenses and marksheets with full legal validity.
Digital
Digital describes representing information using discrete values, most commonly the binary states 0 and 1, and labels the technology built on it, from computers to signal processing.
Digital asset management
Digital asset management (DAM) is a class of enterprise software that stores, organizes, and distributes rich media, managing the metadata and usage rights attached to it.
Digital coherent optics
A digital coherent optic (DCO) is a pluggable optical transceiver combining a coherent DSP, optics, and microprocessor in modules like QSFP-DD and OSFP, carrying DWDM wavelengths directly from router ports.
Digital data
Digital data is information represented as sequences of binary digits that computers store, transmit, and process; its meaning depends on the encoding, since the same byte can represent different characters.
Digital divide
The digital divide, also called the digital gap, is the gap in access to and effective use of digital technologies such as the internet, including gaps in skills and outcomes.
Digital Equipment Corporation
Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), marketed as Digital, was an American computer company founded in 1957 that became the world's second-largest computer company and leading minicomputer maker.
Digital Experience Monitoring
Digital experience monitoring (DEM) is a performance discipline measuring the availability, performance, and quality of user experience of applications, combining real-user monitoring and synthetic transaction monitoring; Gartner defined the category in 2016.
Digital filter
A digital filter is a system that computes an output from a sampled, discrete-time input signal using arithmetic, classified as FIR filters with fixed responses and IIR filters with feedback.
Digital footprint
A digital footprint, also called a digital trail or data trail, is the data trail a person creates online, divided into active and passive footprints.
Digital forensics
Digital forensics, also called forensic computing, is the branch of forensic science that recovers and analyzes data from computers and mobile devices for legal proceedings.
Digital image
A digital image is a picture represented as a finite array of pixels, each storing a quantized value of light intensity or color. The first was made in 1957.
Digital image processing
Digital image processing is the branch of signal processing that uses computers to enhance, transform, and analyze images, born in the early 1960s with NASA's Ranger 7 Moon pictures.
Digital India
Digital India is a flagship Government of India program launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 1 July 2015, coordinated by MeitY to build digital infrastructure and services.
Digital Linear Tape
Digital Linear Tape (DLT) is a magnetic tape storage format using half-inch tape in a square cartridge, developed at Digital Equipment Corporation and introduced in 1984.
Digital micromirror device
A digital micromirror device (DMD) is a MEMS chip of tiny tilting aluminum mirrors acting as pixels, invented at Texas Instruments, that powers DLP projection and digital cinema.
