The talk will be given by *Prof. Greg Ver Steeg*, Department of Computer
Science and Engineering, UCR

*Title:*
The Age of Creative AI ?

*Abstract:*
Generative models have made significant advances in recent years, sparking
an explosion of new applications with far-reaching societal implications. I
will discuss the mathematical intuition behind diffusion models, the core
technology behind recent art generation tools like DALL-E-2, Imagen, Stable
Diffusion, Dreambooth, Lensa, and others. These applications introduce new
technical challenges both for computational scalability and for controlling
outputs to align results with users’ goals and ethical constraints. I will
conclude by discussing an information-theoretic formulation of diffusion
models that can be used to address these problems.



------------------------------------
Sponsored by the UCR Data Science Center, the purpose of the Data Science
Seminars is to foster collaborations between "core" Data Science faculty
(from CSE/ECE/Stat Departments) and faculty/visitors from other sciences
that face Data Science problems in their research. These informal
gatherings are open to interested faculty and graduate students. Each
meeting will start with a talk describing research problems and then a
discussion will follow for questions, open problems, ideas for possible
collaborations etc.

Please forward this email to other colleagues or graduate students in your
lab that may be interested. Moreover, if you are interested in giving a
Data Science related talk, please contact me (tsotras at cs.ucr.edu).

Sincerely,
Vassilis Tsotras
Professor, CSE Department
Director, Data Science Major
