Introduction To Generative AI
Introduction To Generative AI
• You probably used your knowledge of the existing data points to construct
a mental model, Pmodel, of whereabouts in the space the point is more
likely to be found
• You have used the training data (the black points) to construct a model
(the orange region) that you can easily sample from to generate other
points that appear to belong to the training set

• Despite its shortcomings, the model is easy to sample from, because it
is simply a uniform distribution over the orange box. We can easily
choose a point at random from inside this box, in order to sample from
it
• Also, we can certainly say that our model is a simple representation of
the underlying complex distribution that captures some of the
underlying high-level features
• The true distribution is separated into areas with lots of land mass
(continents) and those with no land mass (the sea). This is a high-level
feature that is also true of our model, except we have one large
continent, rather than many
