Computer Science Defense - Bao Pham - Memorization and Generalization in Generative Models: A Perspective From Energy-based Modeling and Associative Memory

Date: Friday, October 30, 2026 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM - Generative models now write working code, produce realistic images, and hold long conversations, yet the mechanisms behind their intelligence still evade our understanding.
