Foundations of AI: Intro to Generative AI for Coders
March 20, 2025 @ 1:00 PM EDT - 5:00 PM EDT
This course will give you an overview of what Generative AI is and how it works, and how to do some basic tasks in Generative AI. You’ll learn some tips and tricks for prompt engineering and prompt tuning, as well as more advanced techniques like RAG, fine-tuning and how to evaluate generative model performance. By the end of the course you should have enough knowledge to combine open-source LLMs with a more targeted dataset to efficiently handle AI tasks that are relevant to your work.
Prerequisites
Understanding basic Python and the very basics of data science (i.e., what data looks like in a csv format and how to do a simple linear regression) would be helpful in this class. Understanding machine learning basics is good, but not required.
