This course provides a deep dive into the evolving domain of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI), focusing on its foundational theories, cutting-edge techniques, and transformative applications. Generative AI enables machines to produce novel, human-like outputs across text, images, audio, and video, reshaping industries and research paradigms.
The course covers state-of-the-art models and frameworks such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), Transformers, Diffusion Models, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and Multi-Agent RAG systems. It also addresses the integration of generative techniques with real-world data and their practical applications in solving complex, domain-specific problems.
Through lectures, hands-on labs, and real-world projects, students will learn to design, implement, and evaluate generative AI systems while critically analyzing their ethical implications, limitations, and societal impact.
