Syllabus

WEEK 1
Neural Machine Translation
Discover some of the shortcomings of a traditional seq2seq model and how to solve for them by adding an attention mechanism, then build a Neural Machine Translation model with Attention that translates English sentences into German.

WEEK 2
Text Summarization
Compare RNNs and other sequential models to the more modern Transformer architecture, then create a tool that generates text summaries.

WEEK 3
Question Answering
Explore transfer learning with state-of-the-art models like T5 and BERT, then build a model that can answer questions.

WEEK 4
Chatbot
Examine some unique challenges Transformer models face and their solutions, then build a chatbot using a Reformer model.

Machine Teaching for Autonomous AI (Coursera)

Just as teachers help students gain new skills, the same is true of artificial intelligence (AI). Machine learning algorithms can adapt and change, much like the learning process itself. Using the machine teaching paradigm, a subject matter expert (SME) can teach AI to improve and optimize a variety of systems and processes. The result is an autonomous AI system.

Probabilistic Graphical Models 3: Learning (Coursera)

Probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) are a rich framework for encoding probability distributions over complex domains: joint (multivariate) distributions over large numbers of random variables that interact with each other. These representations sit at the intersection of statistics and computer science, relying on concepts from probability theory, graph algorithms, machine learning, and more. They are the basis for the state-of-the-art methods in a wide variety of applications, such as medical diagnosis, image understanding, speech recognition, natural language processing, and many, many more. They are also a foundational tool in formulating many machine learning problems.
