This lecture introduces Generative AI and explains how it differs from traditional AI systems. It also covers the fundamentals of prompt engineering, why prompts matter, and how well-designed prompts influence accuracy, reasoning, and output quality of large language models.
This lecture provides an overview of the language model industry, covering how language models evolved, key industry players, and how commercial and open-source models are shaping the AI ecosystem today.
This lecture explains Small Language Models (SLMs), their architecture, benefits, limitations, and the tools commonly used to work with them in real-world applications.
This lecture focuses on why data and AI readiness (DAR) are critical for successful AI systems. It explains data quality, availability, governance, and how poor data directly impacts AI and GenAI outcomes.
This lecture explains Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using a clear flowchart. It shows how external knowledge is retrieved and combined with LLMs to produce more accurate, up-to-date, and reliable responses.
This lecture compares fine-tuning and RAG in detail, explaining when to use each approach based on cost, scalability, maintenance, and business requirements.
This lecture provides quick but essential insights into Generative AI, summarizing key concepts, terminologies, and ideas that help learners connect the dots across topics.
This lecture explains autoencoders and sequence-to-sequence models, focusing on how data is encoded, transformed, and decoded for learning representations.
This lecture introduces the attention mechanism, explaining why it was needed, how it works conceptually, and how it improves context understanding in neural networks.
This lecture introduces transformer architecture and explains why it became the foundation of modern language models, replacing traditional sequential models.
This lecture recaps all key concepts covered so far, reinforcing understanding and preparing learners for deeper transformer and GenAI topics.
This lecture explains the self-attention mechanism in transformers step by step, showing how models focus on relevant parts of input data to understand context.
This course provides a comprehensive and end-to-end understanding of Generative AI (GenAI), Large Language Models (LLMs), and modern AI systems used in real-world applications. You will start with the foundations of AI and GenAI, exploring their origins, evolution, and the history of language models.
The course dives deep into prompt engineering, data importance, simple language models, and the tools that support them. You will gain a clear understanding of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), including why it is used, how it works, and how it compares with fine-tuning.
You will learn core deep learning architectures such as autoencoders, seq2seq models, and transformers, with step-by-step explanations of encoders, decoders, attention mechanisms, and real-world NLP examples. The course also covers LLMs, sentiment analysis, summarization, image-text similarity using CLIP, and modern diffusion models, including UNet implementation, training, inference, and fine-tuning.
Advanced topics include foundation models (OpenAI, Gemini), handling restricted data with GPT, GenAIOps, LLMOps, RAGOps, and building scalable AI solutions. You will also explore agentic AI, its lifecycle, evaluation, architecture design, and frameworks like LangGraph, CrewAI, Semantic Kernel, and Autogen.
The course concludes with Ethical AI development, LLM security practices, and real-world attack scenarios—making you industry-ready for modern AI roles.
