<\/span>What Are Generative Models?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Generative<\/p>\n

Generative models<\/strong> are a class of machine learning models that learn the underlying distribution of a dataset in order to generate new data samples that resemble the original input data. Unlike discriminative models, which predict labels or outcomes given input data, generative models aim to create new content<\/strong>\u2014such as images, text, audio, or 3D structures\u2014based on the patterns they have learned.<\/p>\n

At their core, generative models answer this question:
\u201cGiven what I know about the data, how can I produce something new that still fits the same distribution?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
