The rise of generative modelling and anomaly detection in Science

 

UNIGE Data Science Day

 
The 2022 UNIGE Data Science Day will focus on the theme "Promises of Artificial Intelligence : an Interdisciplinary Revolution", and will take place at Uni Mail on 15 September 2022 (8h30 - 18h00). 
 
After a morning plenary session, numerous panels/round tables will be held in the afternoon, organised by researchers from various disciplines. 

 

Five panels/round tables are still open for new speakers, including one proposed by the DPNC!
 

 
The rise of generative modelling and anomaly detection in Science
Automated prediction is one of the major drivers of modern machine learning, be it weather prediction, protein folding or the prediction of readout signals in a measurement device. Generative modelling techniques have become the gold standard for a wide range of applications, with the most popular models including variational auto encoders (VAEs), generative adversarial networks (GANs), normalising flows or diffusion models. The automated detection of anomalies builds on this precise modelling of high-dimensional data distributions through generative modelling. Applications range from the search for the largest objects in space to the tiniest particles in the collisions of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. In this panel, we intend to focus on early career scientists, inviting them to talk about their challenges and the proposed solutions, as well as how the approaches could be generalised.
