Title: Monozygotic Twins and Face Recognition – A Challenge Problem for Generative AI
Abstract: Despite great advances in face recognition accuracy, distinguishing between monozygotic twins is still challenging. An obvious approach to try to improve accuracy of distinguishing twins would be to use large training sets of twins’ images. Assembling such datasets of real persons is inherently difficult. So, is generative AI up to creating datasets for this purpose? This talk will explore the requirements for a positive answer to this question.

Title: End-to-end representation learning in generative models
Abstract: There are lots of different explorations of how to best train image generation models, from pixel-space generation, latent diffusion models, to representation learning alignment, representation auto-encoders and the recent JIT. In this talk, I will first discuss our recent works on end-to-end image generation which trains the VAE and generative model together. Then, I will draw comparisons and insights between our work and existing methods in terms of latent space quality, the usefulness of ImageNet training, and T2I pre-training.
