Discussion 1: desirable properties of a generative model

Comment on what makes a generative model a good model:

1. How is discriminative modeling different from generative modeling?

2. How is generative modeling different from statistical modeling?

Assignment 1: multilayer perceptron for images – Deadline 05/12/2024

See the code that builds and evaluates multilayer perceptron and that comes with the textbook at github.com. Build 3 versions of the model with following activation functions:

• ReLU

• LeakyReLU

• Sigmoid

Train the models and evaluate them. For the submission interpret the observations about output and accuracy.
