Symbol x_0

xt=αˉt x0+1−αˉt ϵ,x^0=fθ(xt,t),x_t = \sqrt{\bar{\alpha}_t}\, x_0 + \sqrt{1-\bar{\alpha}_t}\, \epsilon, \qquad \hat{x}_0 = f_\theta(x_t, t),
x0x_0

What this part means

a coordinate in the stated process.

Its job in the formula

x0x_0 is one of the signed contributions combined to compute the quantity on the left.

Where the article explains it

For coordinates x0x_0 noised to xtx_t at noise level t , xt=αˉt x0+1−αˉt ϵ,x^0=fθ(xt,t)x_t = \sqrt{\bar{\alpha}_t}\, x_0 + \sqrt{1-\bar{\alpha}_t}\, \epsilon, \qquad \hat{x}_0 = f_\theta(x_t, t).

The passage around this formula

…at all. Diffusion models are trained on a simple, general task: take a true data point, corrupt it with noise at a known level, and train a network to recover the original from the corrupted version. For coordinates x0x_0 noised to xtx_t at noise level t , xt=αˉt x0+1−αˉt ϵ,x^0=fθ(xt,t)x_t = \sqrt{\bar{\alpha}_t}\, x_0 + \sqrt{1-\bar{\alpha}_t}\, \epsilon, \qquad \hat{x}_0 = f_\theta(x_t, t). with ϵ\epsilon drawn from a standard normal distribution and fθf_\theta the trained network. Generating a structure then means starting from coordinates that are almost pure noise and repeatedly applying the trained denoiser, each pass nudging…
