Generative Artificial Intelligence
Abstract
Generative AI presents unprecedented opportunities, yet, like any emerging technology, it demands a thorough comprehension of its core principles to be effectively leveraged. This seminar is designed to provide a gentle introduction to Generative AI, delving into its key aspects and elucidating the most widely used techniques. Participants can expect to gain soft insights into Autoregressive models, Variational Autoencoders, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Diffusion models, and Transformers. Through this exploration, attendees will not only grasp the theoretical foundations but also develop a practical understanding of how these techniques can be applied in a creative context.
