Description

AI for Software Engineers is a practical knowledge course on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its applications in software development published by FrontendMasters Online Academy. AI for Software Engineers is an advanced course designed to equip developers with a practical knowledge of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its applications in software development. This course bridges the gap between AI and engineering by providing a deep understanding of core AI concepts, machine learning algorithms, and their integration into software projects. You will learn the nature of data, probability, training, and prediction in machine learning. You will then explore how to implement these principles in neural networks used in deep learning, including the core concepts of gradient descent and back propagation.

You will then explore the how and why of using Large Language Models (LLMs) by understanding notation, embeddings, self-attention, pre-training, and fine-tuning, as well as the heuristics required to deliver reliable models. By understanding the basics of the tools involved, you can make informed judgments about how to integrate ML/AI models, communicate it within your teams, and gain a valuable edge in technical interviews.

What you will learn in AI for Software Engineers:

How to use a basic understanding of models involved to make informed judgments in the software engineering profession
How to use data science and ML to build products using classical models that do not use neural networks
Principles behind neural networks (the main tool of deep learning) – data representation, weights and activations, gradient descent and backpropagation
Artificial Intelligence for the modern full-stack engineer
How LLMs are guided to generate text through pre-training and fine-tuning, and how to interact with LLMs in the most effective and efficient way
And…
