Spurious samples in deep generative models: bug or feature?

Balázs Kégl, Mehdi Cherti, Akın Kazakçı

Traditional wisdom in generative modeling literature is that spurious samples that a model can generate are errors and they should be avoided. Recent research, however, has shown i…

Digits that are not: Generating new types through deep neural nets

Akın Kazakçıand Mehdi Cherti, Balázs Kégl

For an artificial creative agent, an essential driver of the search for novelty is a value function which is often provided by the system designer or users. We argue that an import…
