Seminar @ETHZ, 8-9th Feb. 2024
Representations in generative AI: Causal methods, images, music, and language.
Recent progress in generative AI has not only achieved generation of highly realistic synthetic data, but also strives to allow for manipulation of high-level properties of the data, with significant potential for applications. Building useful representations is a core ingredient to be able to perform such meaningful manipulations: this goes beyond the mere representation of statistical information, and also includes aspects of causality. The seminar will explore the theoretical and empirical properties of these representations.
