Course Goal / Objective
The goal of a Deep Generative Models course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of generative modeling techniques using deep learning architectures. Deep generative models aim to learn and generate new data samples that resemble a given dataset, capturing its underlying distribution and structure.
Course Content
This course covers the Introduction to Generative Modeling, Overview of generative modeling, Probabilistic modeling and likelihood estimation, Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Autoregressive Models, Deep Generative Models in Natural Language Processing, Advanced Topics in Deep Generative Models, Applications of Deep Generative Models, Critiquing Research Papers.
Course Precondition
Knowledge of basic programming, linear algebra, and probability theory.
