Title: From Zero to Generative: Learning generative models from scratch
Abstract: This workshop introduces generative modeling starting with basic concepts, we guide participants through the intuition and implementation of key generative frameworks, such as diffusion models. Participants will gain hands-on experience building simple versions of these models and understanding when to apply different architectures.
Tutorials: https://github.com/florpi/from-zero-to-generative-jax-tutorial There are no installation instructions, everything works directly from Google colab.
