Hello,

👋 I’m a PhD candidate at Sorbonne University (LIP6, Paris) working on deep learning techniques for music generation.

  • 🎸 I use this site to reference my research notes. I usually go for a specific topic and make a comprehensive post on the existing solutions and future directions.
  • 🔬 Interests: NLP, Generative models, Audio modeling, Music Information Retrieval (MIR)

Text to image generation with Deep Learning

[Update 2022 Oct. 30] Added the text-to-video models recently introduced: Imagen Video and Phenaki. Notation Let’s formulate the problem before going further. Symbol Meaning $g_\theta$ Generator network with parameters $\theta$ $\mathbf{c}$ A caption, represented as a sequence of tokens $x$ An input image, optionally fed to $g_\theta$ to perform modification on it $y$ The output image, sampled from $g_\theta(\mathbf{c})$ or $g_\theta(\mathbf{c}, x)$ $\mathbf{z}$ A latent vector $\mathbf{h}$ Hidden states, intermadiate representation of the input data Intro and problem formulation We refer to text-to-image generation as the tasks of generating visual content conditioned on some text description....

Beyond autoregressive text generation

[Update 2022 Dec. 4] Added contrastive learning / decoding methods. [Update 2023 Mar. 10] Refactor and adding RLHF and diffusion methods. Intro The task of generating content from deep learning models is different from other common tasks in the sens that 1) the model is often trained to replicate the training data for continuous models or predict the next element for discrete ones; 2) when testing a model, there is no exact expected results, in consequence; 3) its evaluation is often tricky....
