SUMMARY:[CML Seminar] Karen Ullrich: Challenges in Improving and Applying G
 enerative Models
LOCATION:Donald Bren Hall 4011
DESCRIPTION:Karen Ullrich\, Research Scientist\, Fundamental AI Research (F
 AIR) at Meta\, New York\n\nTitle: Challenges in Improving and Applying Gen
 erative Models\n\nAbstract: The emergence of powerful\, ever more universa
 l models such as ChatGPT\, and stable Diffusion\, made generative modeling
  (GM) undoubtedly a focal point for modern AI research. In the talk\, we w
 ill discuss applications of GM and how GM fits into a vision of autonomous
  machine intelligence. We will critically examine the sustainability of sc
 aling AI models\, a prevalent approach driving remarkable advancements in 
 GM. Despite significant successes\, I highlight the substantial physical\,
  economic\, and environmental limitations of continuous scaling\, question
 ing its long-term feasibility. Furthermore\, we will discuss inherent limi
 tations in current high performance models that lead to a lack of tractabi
 lity of statistical queries necessary to enable reasoning.\n\nhttps://cml.
