| * The offering term is subject to change without prior notice | ||||||||||
Course Aims | ||||||||||
This course introduces core algorithms, techniques and applications in generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). It covers the theory of classic generative modelsâsuch as VAEs, GANs, autoregressive transformers, and diffusion modelsâand their applications across text, audio, image, video, 3D and multimodal generation. Students will engage in hands-on projects (e.g., chatbots, AI art) to learn practical GenAI implementation. By the end of the course, students will master designing, implementing, and evaluating generative models and apply these techniques to solve real-life challenges. | ||||||||||
