Week1- Generative AI

Discussion 1: desirable properties of a generative model

Comment on what makes a generative model a good model: 

1. How is discriminative modeling different from generative modeling?

2. How is generative modeling different from statistical modeling? 

Assignment 1: multilayer perceptron for images - Deadline 05/12/2024

See the code that builds and evaluates multilayer perceptron and that comes with the textbook at  github.com.  Build 3 versions of the model with following activation functions: 

· ReLU 

· LeakyReLU 

· Sigmoid 

Train the models and evaluate them. For the submission interpret the observations about output and accuracy.
