Rational Intelligence Seminar Series: Yixin Wang on Generative Modeling

Join RISS on July 30, 2025, at 14:30 CET for Yixin Wang’s talk on Posterior Mean Matching for generative modeling through Bayesian inference.

Join the Rational Intelligence Seminar Series (RISS) on July 30, 2025, at 14:30 CET for a talk by Yixin Wang, Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan, on ‘Posterior Mean Matching: Generative Modeling through Online Bayesian Inference’.

The seminar will explore a new method for generative modeling grounded in Bayesian inference, using conjugate pairs of distributions to model complex data.

• Learn about Posterior Mean Matching (PMM), a flexible alternative to existing methods like diffusion models.
• Discover how PMM models refine noisy approximations of target distributions using online Bayesian inference updates.
• Explore examples of PMM models for real-valued, count, and discrete data.
