FRIDAY SEMINAR NOTICE
SPEAKER:
Dr. Amritendu Mukherjee
Researcher | Entrepreneur | Cancer Survivor | Building NeuroPixel.AI
Bengaluru, Karnataka
TITLE:
“Evolutionary Journey of Deep Generative Models”
DAY & DATE & TIME:
Friday, 15th September 2023
4.00 PM (Tea/Coffee at 3.45 PM)
VENUE: Seminar Hall, Department of Management Studies, IISc.
Abstract:
Generative Networks primarily approaches the problem of estimating the distribution and sampling from the same by observing the data. In this Talk, I would discuss the evolutionary journey [and theoretical foundations] of Generative Networks through Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM), Auto-Encoder & Variational Auto-Encoder (VAE), Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) and Score-based Diffusion Model.
Also, I would like to talk about some of the problem statements [Synthetic Model Generation, Attribute Modification, Virtual Try-On etc.] that we are trying to solve at NeuroPixel.AI Labs with the help of DGMs [e.g. StyleGAN, InsetGAN, Stable Diffusion, etc.] in conjunction with other DNN stacks like Spatial Transformation Network (STN) and Optical Flow Network (FN). Finally, I would take the audience through a couple of interim Demos of the solution that we’ve been building at NeuroPixel.
