In this course

Yoshua Bengio is a foundational figure in deep learning whose work on hierarchical probabilistic models and representation learning underpins much of contemporary generative AI; he appears here as a co-author of the Generative Adversarial Networks paper, one of the field's most influential architectures for learning data distributions. His prominence in these readings speaks to how the course traces the technical lineage of contemporary AI systems while also positioning deep learning's promise of discovering rich hierarchical representations as a central claim now subject to critical scrutiny regarding both capability and harm.
