Human creativity still surpasses “creative” generative AI, according to recent research

Research confirms it: in image generation, AI creativity is a myth. Although current generative AI models may indeed appear autonomous creative agents, when deconstructing their imaginative process, their lack of true creative abilities becomes apparent. This is the conclusion reached by a new study, published in the scientific journal Advanced Science, led by an international … Read more

Experimental Analysis and Complexity Scaling of Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models for Image Synthesis 

Abstract: This talk will present an experimental study on the behaviour, scalability, and generative quality of Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) for image synthesis across datasets of increasing complexity.   Three case studies are analysed and compared based on FID (Fréchet Inception Distance) evaluation metric and the performance of downstream classifiers to discriminate the synthetically generated … Read more

Tensor network methods for machine learning: tensorization, privacy, and beyond

Abstract: Neural networks (NNs) excel across a wide range of machine learning tasks due to their flexibility and scalability, but they also pose challenges in privacy, interpretability, robustness, and efficiency—limitations that can be especially critical for large models trained on sensitive data. To tackle these issues, we propose the use of tensor network models. In … Read more
