Deep Generative Modelling (Aalto University CS-E407509 2022)
Introduction
For each of the assigned chapters, you are required to prepare a couple of notes summarizing the chapter. There should be three sections covering
- Main points of the chapter
- Questions/unclear points
- Further comments/thoughts
There should be roughly three bullet points for each of them, without that being a hard constraint. For example, if you do not have any questions because everything is clear, then just focus more on the other two. The main focus of this task is not to spend too much time on this, or to submit overly long documents, but primarily for you to have a possibility to structure your thoughts while reading the chapter. We will then rely on these points to guide the discussion each week.
