The Gen AI market is expected to grow 46% . yearly till 2030 (Source: Statista). Gen AI engineers are high in demand. This program gives aspiring data scientists, machine learning engineers, and AI developers essential skills in Gen AI, large language models (LLMs), and natural language processing (NLP) employers need.
Gen AI engineers design systems that understand human language. They use LLMs and machine learning to build these systems.
During this program, you will develop skills to build apps using frameworks and pre-trained foundation models such as BERT, GPT, and LLaMA. You’ll use the Hugging Face transformers library, PyTorch deep learning library, RAG and LangChain framework to develop and deploy LLM NLP-based apps. Plus, you’ll explore tokenization, data loaders, language and embedding models, transformer techniques, attention mechanisms, and prompt engineering.
Through the series of short-courses in this specialization, you’ll also gain practical experience through hands-on labs and a project, which is great for interviews.
This program is ideal for gaining job-ready skills that GenAI engineers, machine learning engineers, data scientists and AI developers require. Note, you need a working knowledge of Python, machine learning, and neural networks.. Exposure to PyTorch is helpful.
Praktisches Lernprojekt
Through the hands-on labs and projects in each course, you will gain practical skills in using LLMs for developing NLP-based applications.
Labs and projects you will complete include:
creating an NLP data loader
developing and training a language model with a neural network
applying transformers for classification, building, and evaluating a translation model
engineering prompts and in-context learning
fine-tuning models
applying LangChain tools
building AI agents and applications with RAG and LangChain
In the final course, you will complete a capstone project, applying what you have learned to develop a question-answering bot through a series of hands-on labs. You begin by loading your document from various sources, then apply text splitting strategies to enhance model responsiveness, and use watsonx for embedding. You’ll also implement RAG to improve retrieval and set up a Gradio interface to construct your QA bot. Finally, you will test and deploy your bot.
