Winter Courses on Artificial Intelligence

Author: Sergio Focardi, PhD

​

Artificial Intelligence has reached the stage where machines can learn from vast amount of data and can respond to questions in ways that closely imitate human reasoning. These surprising capabilities are due to a number of technological advances in particular new types of neural networks. For a long time neural networks have been used as pattern recognition devices or function approximators. However, recent discoveries have created families of neural networks that are the core technology of generative AI. the objective of my Winter Courses on Artificial Intelligence is to explain the technology of Artificial Intelligence.

​

The first course describes neural networks and their capabilities. The course discusses how neural networks work. It discusses the math of neural networks as well their capabilities. Based on this knowledge the following course will discuss how generative AI work. It will discuss how machines can imitate human reasoning without any pretense to truly represent human minds.   

​

This course is oriented to both people who want to understand the functioning of modern AI as well as to people who might want to implement neural network applications in a variety of areas. Currently there are eccellent software tools that allow to build neural network applications without coding the true neural network. The availability of this software greatly simplify the deployment of neural networks. Still, those who want to implement neural network applications need to have a clear idea how the various families of neural network works.
