Master Deep Generative Models in Julia

The goal of this repo is to provide a list of deep generative models implemented in Julia.

Note that each implementation targets only a very specific case¹. Generally we'll provide a simple version for the education purpose and a performant version which demonstrates how to reach the state-of-the-art performance in Julia².

Model List

• MLP
• VAE
• VQ-VAE
• GAN
• GPT2
• LLAMA
• DDPM
• MoE
• VQGAN
• CLIP
• MaskGIT

• Jjama3.jl

Feel free to add your work here.

Q&A

1. Lux.jl vs Flux.jl?

   • There have been some discussions on this topic (see Deep learning in Julia). Since each algorithm is implemented independently under separate folder, just choose the one you are most comfortable with.
