Hi,
This Friday Alex Lamb will talk about ongoing work and cool new results related to generative modeling:
When: Friday, 22th Jan, 14:30-15:30
Where: Z-209 Pavilion Mc Nicoll
Who: Alex Lamb
Title: Discriminative Regularizers and Metrics for Generative Models
DeepDream and DeepStyle have shown that the representations learned by discriminatively trained classifiers can be used to produce photorealistic transformations of images. In this talk, we explore the question of whether these discriminatively learned representations can be used to enhance the quality of generative models. Our conjecture is that labels correspond to characteristics of natural data which are the most salient to humans: identity in faces, objects in images, and utterances in speech. We explore the use of this idea as both a regularizer and an evaluation metric for generative models and present preliminary experimental results on SVHN and CIFAR.
See you there,
