Generating Artificial Intelligence in Barcelona
Barcelona is emerging as a leading hub for artificial intelligence research and development. Recent advances in generative AI are creating excitement in Barcelona's academic and startup communities. In this post, we'll explore how Barcelona researchers are pushing the boundaries of generative AI - systems capable of creating original digital content. What is Generative AI? Generative AI refers to machine learning techniques that allow computers to generate new content like images, videos, text and audio. The most popular forms today include: Generative adversarial networks (GANs) - Two neural networks contest with each other to generate increasingly realistic outputs. Variational autoencoders (VAEs) - Neural nets that learn compressed representations of data to generate new samples. Diffusion models - Generate content by iteratively revising noise into more structured outputs. Reinforcement learning - Guides AI agents via rewards to create content that maximizes g
