Generative Deep Learning
Generative modelling is one of the hottest topics in AI. It’s now possible to teach a machine to excel at human endeavours such as painting, writing, and composing music. David Foster will show how to re-create some of the most impressive examples of generative deep learning models, such as variational autoencoders, generative adversarial networks (GANs), encoder-decoder models, and world models. Foster demonstrates the inner workings of each technique, starting with the basics of deep learning before advancing to some of the most cutting-edge algorithms in the field. Through tips and tricks, you’ll understand how to make your models learn more efficiently and become more creative.
