Title of Lecture:

Pyramidal Decomposition Used in Generative Artificial Intelligence Models


Abstract: During the presentation, we'll explore the implementation of Pyramidal decomposition in various Generative Artificial Intelligence Models. Pyramidal decomposition is just one example of how hierarchical representations can be leveraged in deep learning models. The specific implementation details may vary depending on the task, model architecture, and available computational resources. The advantage of pyramidal decomposition is that it allows the model to capture multi-scale information from the input, enabling better handling of objects at different sizes and levels of detail. It helps in detecting both fine-grained details and global context in the input image, leading to improved performance in tasks such as object recognition, segmentation, and image generation. This talk serves as a brief overview of our recent research.
