Course Title:

Generative AI and Large Language Models

Course Code:

MIA5150

Section:

B

Course Description:

Foundations and practices of Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), covering the full lifecycle from model development to deployment. Explore generative model families, including Transformers, autoregressive models, diffusion models, GANs, and VAEs, and their multimodal applications across text, image, audio, and video. Modern techniques such as fine-tuning, parameter-efficient training, in-context learning, contrastive learning, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and multi-agent systems for enabling complex reasoning, coordination, and autonomous task execution are discussed. Key practices in prompt engineering, inference optimization, safety and alignment, and responsible AI deployment. Practical applications across diverse domains.
