Republic Polytechnic (RP)-NVIDIA Rapid AI App Development: From Deep Learning to Large Language Models (LLMs)

About course

Course description

Dive into the cutting-edge world of Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) with this comprehensive 2-day course. Get hands-on with deep learning in computer vision and Natural Language Processing (NLP), training models from the ground up or leveraging powerful pretrained options. Explore GenAI applications, build a text-to-image generator using diffusion models, and master Transformer architectures. Deploy LLMs for advanced tasks like ntegrating text generation, multimodal learning, and agentic orchestration. Earn two NVIDIA Design Learning Institute (DLI) Certificates of Competency to showcase your newfound expertise.
