Generative Computer Vision Models
Contents
In this course, we teach fundamental concepts of deep generative models along the example of image generation. Considered models include autoregressive models like RixelRNN and PixelCNN, normalizing Flows and RealNVP-like models, autoencoders (including latent space visualizaiton and deep clustering), variational autoencoders, generative adversarial networks, and diffusion models.
