Generative AI
Images, Audio & Creativity
- Saturday, 9 January 2027
- 9:30 am – 4:30 pm IST
- Main Seminar Hall, Block A, College of Engineering Kidangoor
Explore how diffusion models paint, how neural audio models speak and sing, and how artists are using both. You'll run Stable Diffusion locally, fine-tune it on a small style dataset, and compose a short multimedia piece — plus a frank discussion of copyright and consent.
You'll be able to…
- Explain how diffusion turns noise into images
- Generate and control images with prompts and ControlNet
- Fine-tune a small LoRA on a custom style
- Discuss the ethics of generative media
