Learning outcomes

Content /
Knowledge

Students should be able to:

  • Understand and design different generative models including variation auto-encoders, generative adversarial networks and diffusion models.
  • Understand/describe the operation and the prompting procedure of different generative models, as well as their differences/modifications for text/image/video generation.
Methodological
skills
Students should be able to:
  • Design and develop models and algorithms for text/image/video generation using existing programming frameworks.
  • Perform model tuning and hyperparameter selection for text/image/video generation.
  • Effectively prompt and finetune existing generative models and algorithms. 
  • Evaluate the quality, diversity and speed of the generative AI models.
Transferrable/
Application
Students should be able to:
  • Work effectively with others in an interdisciplinary and/or international team.
  • Design and manage individual projects.
  • Clearly and succinctly communicate their ideas to technical audiences.
