Course overview

This course is an introduction to the mathematical basis for generative AI in stochastic modelling and differential equations, as well as a practical overview of modern approaches to generating synthetic media using deep learning techniques that are built on top of those theoretical foundations. 

  • Mathematical foundations of generative AI 
  • Deep learning for generative AI 
  • Applications and ethics of generative AI 

Course learning outcomes

  • Describe modern generative AI techniques and connect it with the underlying mathematical principles
  • Demonstrate an understanding of how deep learning is used in generative AI and how it can be deployed in real-world applications
  • Demonstrate skills in deploying generative algorithms using computer programming of both traditional and modern techniques
  • Apply mathematical techniques to solve a variety of problems that underly generative AI at an appropriate level of difficulty
  • Demonstrate skills in communicating about generative AI using both mathematics and English, including ethical considerations
