Session 6: Presentation of thery topics¶

Date: 2026-04-27

Overview¶

Students present their current research findings on specific application areas of generative AI.

Presentations of selected theory topics researched by students:

Joshua Aleth: Agentic AI with OpenClaw and others (e.g. MCP)
Sebastian Bauer: Text-based generation of other modalities (CLIP and successors)
Sebastian Regelmann: Image generation with foundation models (GAN, Stable Diffusion, Flow Matching)

Each presentation should be exactly 15 minutes, followed by 5 - 15 minutes of Q&A. A hand-out (pdf) summarizing key points should be provided.

The presentations should cover the following points:

Overview of the application area --> which problems are solved by generative AI in this area? What are the main use cases? Which tools are used for which purposes?
Key models and architectures --> which models have been developed over the years? Which architectures are used? What are the main differences between them?
Relevant tools and frameworks --> which tools and frameworks are available today for working with generative AI in this area? Which ones are most popular? Which ones are most powerful? Which ones are free to use? Which ones are open source?
Example use cases and demos --> which examples and demos are available for this application area? Which ones are most impressive? Which ones are most useful? Which ones are most creative?
Challenges and future directions --> which challenges are still open in this application area? Which ones are most pressing? Which ones are most interesting? Which ones are most promising for future research and development?
