MI is All You Need: Understanding Complex Multivariate Systems Through the Lenses of GenAI Pietro Michiardi, Professor, Department Head, Data Science Department, EURECOM Mar 26, 12:00 - 13:00 B1 L4 R4102 This talk explores the use of score functions and denoising neural networks for efficient estimation of mutual information and novel extensions to information theory that describe complex multivariate interactions, demonstrating applications in automotive sensing, semantic alignment, and neuroscience.
Latent Abstractions, Mutual Information and Generative Diffusion Models Giulio Franzese, Assistant Professor, Data Science Department, EURECOM Mar 23, 12:00 - 13:00 B1 L4 R4102 This talk presents a mathematical framework linking stochastic differential equations and information theory on how diffusion models utilize latent abstractions via implicit stochastic filtering to synthesize high-dimensional data.
