This course dives into the rapidly evolving field of Generative AI, exploring how machines create content such as text, images, audio, and more. Starting from the basics, students will study the architecture and algorithms behind models like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), and transformer-based models (e.g., GPT, BERT). Emphasis will be on understanding how generative models learn patterns from data to produce realistic outputs and developing hands-on skills to build and fine-tune these models. Topics will also include the ethical and societal impacts of generative AI, as well as best practices for deploying these models responsibly.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
Overview of generative AI and its applications Types of generative models: probabilistic vs. deep learning-based Basics of data generation and synthetic data
Introduction to VAEs: Explanation of VAEs and how they differ from GANs in approach and application, with a focus on probabilistic modeling. Encoder-Decoder Architecture: Deep dive into the encoder-decoder structure of VAEs and the concept of latent space representation for generating data. Building a VAE Model: Practical session on constructing a basic VAE, with code and examples to understand the model’s workflow from encoding input data to reconstructing and generating new data
Overview of GANs: Introduction to GANs and the concept of adversarial training, where two neural networks, a generator and a discriminator, compete in a zero-sum game. Structure of GANs: Detailed breakdown of the discriminator and generator networks, explaining their roles in generating and validating realistic data samples. Implementing a Basic GAN: Step-by-step guide to building a simple GAN for image generation, covering essential components and code examples.
