MSRNE Generative Modeling & Sampling Workshop | Day 1

The goal of the Generative Modeling & Sampling Workshop was to foster dialogue across communities working at the intersection of generative modeling, sampling, stochastic control, scientific machine learning, and related areas. By bringing together perspectives from machine learning, statistics, applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computational biology, the workshop aimed to highlight shared mathematical and algorithmic principles, explore foundational questions and emerging applications, and create opportunities for new collaborations. It served as a forum for exchanging ideas, identifying promising directions, and accelerating progress on both fundamental and applied problems. Event page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/resea...
