Generative Deep Learning - The Key To Unlocking Artificial General Intelligence Meetup
This meetup video was recorded in London on February 28th, 2020.
Description:
Generative modeling is one of the hottest topics in AI. It’s now possible to teach a machine to excel at human endeavors such as painting, writing, and composing music. In this talk, we will cover:
A general introduction to Generative Modelling
A walkthrough of one of the most utilized generative deep learning models - the Variational Autoencoder (VAE)
Examples of state-of-the-art output from Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Transformer based architectures.
How generative models can be used in a reinforcement learning setting (World Models paper)
Why I believe generative models will play a crucial part in the quest to build Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
