Aims and objectives

GAIA2025 – Generative AI and Actions for a changing world is a PhD school designed to equip young researchers with a solid understanding of the mathematical, algorithmic, and application-driven aspects of Generative Artificial Intelligence.

The school is aimed at PhD students in Mathematics, Computer Science, and Engineering who have a basic familiarity with neural networks. It offers a unique blend of theoretical insights and hands-on experience, tailored to accommodate diverse academic backgrounds and foster interdisciplinary learning.

Objectives of GAIA2025:

• Provide solid theoretical foundations of Generative AI, including essential concepts from probability theory, optimization, and deep learning architectures such as VAEs, GANs, and diffusion models. 

• Offer practical, hands-on training, allowing participants to gain experience with state-of-the-art generative techniques applied to real-world imaging problems.

• Showcase impactful applications of Generative AI to address key global challenges, including:

  • • Creative and artistic content generation

    • Medical image processing and analysis

    • Detection and mitigation of deepfakes and AI-generated threats, within the context of cybersecurity

Each topic will be explored both intuitively and technically to ensure accessibility and depth, helping students from different domains engage fully with the content. For participants who require course accreditation, an exam will be offered at the end of each module.
