CS 598 BAN

Subject offerings of new and developing areas of knowledge in computer science intended to augment the existing curriculum. See Class Schedule or departmental course information for topics and prerequisites. Course Information: May be repeated in the same or separate terms if topics vary.

Recent years have seen considerable advances in generative models, which learn distributions from data and also generate new data instances from the learned distribution; and dynamical models, which model systems with a dynamical or temporal component. Both of these developments have been leveraging advances in deep learning. The course will cover key advances in generative and dynamical models, including variational auto-encoders, normalizing flows, generative adversarial networks, diffusion models, neural differential equations, learning operators, among other topics.
