Contenu de la formation

  • Introduction to Generative AI fundamentals
  • Generative AI Use-Cases and Applications
  • GenAI Modeling and Scheduling 
  • Traffic Modeling and Network Accelleration protocols 
The detailed lessons are as follows. The first four sessions are lectures, with some parallel hands-on activity, while the following sessions are dedicated to tutorials and practical work (group projects).
Lectures  These sessions are dedicated to acquiring the theoretical concepts and fundamentals of Generative AI.
  • Introduction to Generative AI and foundational models (GANs, VAEs)
    • What is Generative AI? (vs. Discriminative AI)
    • Early statistical models (e.g., Markov Chains, HMMs)
    • Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs): architecture, training, strengths, and weaknesses
    • Variational Autoencoders (VAEs): architecture, training, and applications
  • Transformer architectures and Large Language Models (LLMs)
    • The Transformer architecture: self-attention, QKV vectors, and multi-head attention
    • The Encoder-Decoder framework and its variants
    • Large Language Models (LLMs): pre-training and fine-tuning paradigms
    • Prompt engineering: principles and techniques
  • Diffusion models and creative applications
    • The forward and reverse diffusion processes
    • Latent Diffusion Models (LDMs): concepts and efficiency
    • Applications in image and video generation (e.g., text-to-image)
    • Tools and frameworks for implementing diffusion models
  • Ethical issues, challenges, and future trends
    • Ethical implications: bias, misinformation (deepfakes), and intellectual property
    • Current challenges: hallucinations, controllability, and computational cost
    • Responsible AI principles
    • Future trends: multimodal generation, efficiency, and scientific discovery
  • GenAI traffic modeling and network accelleration
    • Collective Communications
    • Data-driven versus Traffic Model
    • Transport protocols (RDMA, ROCE)
 Tutorials / Practical Work (Group Projects)These sessions are dedicated to applying knowledge through group projects, including project assignment and regular follow-ups.
  • Project assignment and beginning of practical work (1 lesson)
  • Group project follow-up (2 lessons)
  • Use-case seminars (1-3 lessons)
