+Generative models are widely used in many subfields of AI and Machine
+Learning. Roughly speaking, there are four types of generative models in
+the deep learning field, including variational autoencoders (VAE),
+generative adversarial networks (GAN), autoregressive models, and
+normalizing flow models. In this talk, I will give a big picture of
+generative models in deep learning but focus on normalizing flow models,
+from the first normalizing flow model introduced in 2015, to the
+state-of-the-art models invented this year (2020). In the end, if time
+permits, I will also discuss some open problems in deep generative models
+and my solutions
