Course Overview
Thanks to improvements in computing power and scientific theory, generative AI is more accessible than ever before. Generative AI plays a significant role across industries due to its numerous applications, such as creative content generation, data augmentation, simulation and planning, anomaly detection, drug discovery, personalized recommendations, and more. In this course, learners will take a deeper dive into denoising diffusion models, which are a popular choice for text-to-image pipelines.
