This course is the last 2 sessions of the experimental course Machine Learning Engineer Training (Experimental). The last two sessions are separated out for registration for the convenience of students who already mastered the fundamentals of the machine learning, and like to only learn more about generative AI. You will be learning along side with other students who is in the Machine Learning Engineer Training (Experimental) course.
Note: Due to the experimental nature of our initial class, the following may be subject to change based on feedback. We will coordinate with students regarding any changes.
