Special Topics: Generative Artificial Intelligence

Advanced machine learning and AI special topics



MSDS 490-DL Special Topics: Generative Artificial Intelligence.

This course explores recent developments in generative artificial intelligence, with applications to language processing, computer vision, and software development. Students work with deep learning models, including attention and transformer models, and generative pretrained transformers (GPTs). They build special-purpose applications from open-source software, utilizing application programming interfaces (APIs) to GPT-based models and knowledge bases. This is a project-based course with extensive programming assignments. Recommended prior courses: MSDS 453-DL Natural Language Processing and MSDS 458-DL Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning. Prerequisites: (1) MSDS 420-DL Database Systems or CIS 417 Database Systems Design and Implementation and (2) MSDS 422-DL Practical Machine Learning or CIS 435 Practical Data Science Using Machine Learning.

Students benefit by taking the Python Learning Studio and MSDS 430 Python for Data Science prior to taking this course.
