One well known application of deep learning is computer vision. Tasks such as detection or classification are nearly considered solved by the community. However, training state-of-the-art models for such tasks requires to have labels associated to the data we want to classify. A more general goal is, similarly to animal brains, to be able to design algorithms that can extract meaningful features from data that aren't labeled. Unsupervised learning is one of the axes that try to solve this problem. In this thesis, I present a new way to train a neural network as a generative model capable of generating quality samples (a task akin to imagining). I explain how by starting from noise, it is possible to get samples which are close to the training data. This iterative procedure is called Infusion training and is a novel approach to learning the transition operator of a generative Markov chain. In the first chapter, I present some background about machine learning and probabilistic models. The second chapter presents generative models that inspired this work. The third and last chapter presents and investigates our novel approach to learn a generative model with Infusion training.
