Liquid AI Inc., a groundbreaking startup emerging from MIT, has officially introduced its debut generative AI models, which stand out due to their unique underlying architecture. These models, known as Liquid Foundation Models (LFMs), promise exceptional performance that rivals the top large language models currently available. Founded by a distinguished […]
Generative Models
Generative models are a class of statistical models used in machine learning and artificial intelligence that are designed to generate new data instances that resemble a given dataset. Unlike discriminative models, which focus on distinguishing between different classes of data, generative models learn the underlying distribution of the training data, enabling them to predict how new samples might look.
These models can produce outputs in various forms, including images, text, audio, and more, by capturing the essential characteristics and patterns of the input data. Common types of generative models include:
1. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs): These consist of two neural networks, a generator and a discriminator, that are trained simultaneously to improve each other’s performance. The generator creates new data instances, while the discriminator evaluates their authenticity.
2. Variational Autoencoders (VAEs): These models combine neural networks with probabilistic graphical models, enabling them to learn latent representations of the data and generate new samples by sampling from this learned distribution.
Generative models have diverse applications, including image synthesis, text generation, and music creation, and are becoming increasingly prominent in fields such as art, gaming, and natural language processing.
