Unlock the transformative power of generative AI with our comprehensive online course, designed for learners eager to master the fundamentals and practical applications of deep generative modeling. Begin your journey by demystifying what generative AI truly is, exploring the diverse landscape of multimodal models, and understanding how algorithms can create rich media content from scratch. Delve into the theoretical underpinnings and formalizations that drive deep generative models, gaining insight into the trade-offs between different architectures. Transition seamlessly from theory to practice as you are introduced to the PyTorch frameworkβone of the most powerful tools in modern deep learning. Through hands-on programming exercises, youβll learn to manipulate tensors, leverage automatic differentiation, and harness GPU acceleration to build and train your own neural networks. By the end of this course, youβll not only grasp the core concepts behind generative AI but also acquire the practical skills needed to implement and experiment with deep learning models using industry-standard tools. Whether youβre aspiring to innovate in AI research or apply these skills in real-world projects, this course is your gateway to the future of artificial intelligence.
This module introduces the fundamentals of generative AI and deep generative modeling, exploring how algorithms can create rich media across various modalities. It covers the theoretical foundations and trade-offs of different generative model architectures. The module then provides hands-on experience with the PyTorch framework, guiding learners through programming with tensors, leveraging automatic differentiation, and building neural networks. By the end, students will understand both the principles behind generative models and the practical skills needed to implement them using modern deep learning tools.

Frequently asked questions
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you canβt afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, youβll find a link to apply on the description page.
