Recent advancements in generative artificial intelligence (AI) have made it possible for machines to independently produce a variety of creative content. In the context producing content, this essay examines developments, difficulties, and ethical issues relating AI. It looks into how models, such Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) Variational Auto encoders (VAEs), can realistic artwork lik...

Analyzing generative group activities against the backdrop of an increasingly connected world, this theory development paper introduces the concept of "generative collectives" as a new framework for classifying internet-based collectives and a novel theoretical lens for explaining why some internet-based groups are more generative than others. Generative collectives are groups of people with sh...

Classical approaches to learn classifiers for structured objects (e.g., images, sequences) use generative models in a standard Bayesian framework. To exploit the state-of-the-art performance of discriminative learning, while also taking advantage of generative models of the data, generative embeddings have been recently proposed as a way of building hybrid discriminative/generative approaches. ...

Male germ line development in flowering plants is initiated with the formation of the generative cell that is the progenitor of the two sperm cells. While structural features of the generative cell are well documented, genetic programs required for generative cell cycle progression are unknown. We describe two novel Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) mutants, duo pollen1 (duo1) and duo pollen2 ...

Within the last few years generative modeling techniques have gained attention especially in the context of cultural heritage. As a generative model describes a rather ideal object than a real one, generative techniques are a basis for object description and classification. This procedural knowledge differs from other kinds of knowledge, such as declarative knowledge, in a significant way. It c...

Analyzing generative group activities against the backdrop of an increasingly connected world, this paper develops the concept of "generative collectives" as a theoretical lens for explaining why some internet-based groups are more generative than others. Generative collectives are groups of people with shared interests or goals who mutually engage in rejuvenating, reconfiguring, reframing and ...

Standard practice in linguistics often obscures the connection between theory and data, leading some to the conclusion that generative linguistics could not serve as the basis for a cognitive neuroscience of language. Here the foundations and methodology of generative grammar are clarified with the goal of explaining how generative theory already functions as a reasonable source of hypotheses a...
