General Topic: Recent Trends in Generative AI
In recent years, Generative AI has gained much attention and has the potential to change the way we approach content creation. Generative AI is a subset of artificial intelligence that generates new data. This can include generating new images, text, videos or other forms of data. Such new content can be used for various purposes, including developing new products or services, generating new ideas, or improving existing processes.
List of Topics
The topics are subdivided into three broad topics and other sub-topics. The broad topics are offered where the focus will be more on the technical aspects. Both technical details and application use cases should be explored under the sub-topics.
Broad Topics:
1) Stable Diffusion Networks
2) Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs)
3) Generative Transformers
Sub-topics:
4) Text-to-Image Generation
5) AI-driven video synthesis
6) Ethical aspects of AI-generated content
7) Text-to-Human motion
8) Images, Text, and Human Body Shapes
9) Text-to-Mesh generation
10) Text-to-point cloud
Motivation
In science, one of the most critical tasks is to share research work with others - in most cases, by publishing a paper in a scientific journal. Therefore, high-quality scientific writing is crucial for success in science. In this seminar, the participants will be introduced to scientific research in general and the essential aspects of literature study. The final goal will be to write a review report on one of the sub-topic in the field of Generative AI, which will be presented at the end of the semester.
