This course teaches the basic principles, maths, and methods of synthesis and deep generative modelling at a level suitable for newer PhD students in the field or curious PhD students from other or adjacent fields. The course uses learning by teaching, whereby students in the course create materials and lessons to teach their peers, including those taking the course alongside them.

Content and learning outcomes

Course disposition

The students and the lecturer meet at a number of two-hour sessions throughout the semester(approximately weekly during one period), at which they discuss topics relevant to the course.

At the start, the sessions are led by the lecturer, whilst a designated student for each session writes lecture notes based on the lecture contents and discussion, and also creates with Canvas quiz questions on the material. This material is shared with other students for them to study, pass, and refine further.

Later lessons are led by the students, who each select a specific topic within the course, digest a list of reading materials from the lecturer and course students into a slides-based lecture with associated Canvas questions on their selected topic, which they deliver to the other students. Students and lecturers work together to piece together a bigger picture of concepts and methods (with their strengths and weaknesses) in the field.
