Foundations of AI and Machine Learning 1.1 Overview of Traditional Artificial Intelligence Artificial intelligence (AI) is the field of computer science that aims to create machines and systems that can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as reasoning, learning, decision making, perception, and natural language processing. Traditional AI is based on symbolic logic and rule-based systems that manipulate symbols and facts according to predefined rules and algorithms. For example, expert systems, knowledge bases, search algorithms, and game- playing programs are examples of traditional AI. Traditional AI has some limitations, such as the difficulty of encoding common sense knowledge, the brittleness of rule-based systems, the lack of scalability and adaptability, and the inability to handle uncertainty and ambiguity. 1.2 Understanding AI AI can be classified into different types based on the level of intelligence and the scope of the tasks. The main types are: Weak AI or narrow AI: AI that is designed to perform a specific task or domain, such as face recognition, speech recognition, or chess playing. Weak AI does not have general intelligence or consciousness, and cannot transfer its skills to other domains. This material is exclusively for GSDC members and cannot be distributed, sold, or reproduced. Generative AI Professional Book of Knowledge © Global Skillup Certification Pvt. Ltd. 100D Pasir Panjang RD, #05 - 03 Meissa, Singapore 118520 5 Strong AI or artificial general intelligence (AGI): AI that can perform any intellectual task that a human can, such as reasoning, learning, planning, creativity, and common sense. Strong AI is equivalent to human intelligence, and has not been achieved yet. Artificial superintelligence (ASI): AI that surpasses human intelligence in all aspects, such as speed, memory, knowledge, and creativity. ASI is hypothetical and may have unpredictable and potentially dangerous consequences for humanity. 1.3 Demystifying Machine Learning Machine learning (ML) is a subfield of AI that focuses on creating systems that can learn from data and improve their performance without explicit programming. ML enables AI systems to handle complex and dynamic tasks that are hard to define with rules and logic. ML can be categorized into different types based on the learning method and the feedback mechanism. The main types are: Supervised learning: ML that learns from labeled data, where the input and the desired output are provided. The goal is to learn a function that maps the input to the output, and generalize it to unseen data. For example, classification and regression are supervised learning tasks. Unsupervised learning: ML that learns from unlabeled data, where only the input is provided. The goal is to discover patterns, structures, and features in the data, without any predefined objective. For example, clustering, dimensionality reduction, and anomaly detection are unsupervised learning tasks. Reinforcement learning: ML that learns from its own actions and rewards, where the input is the state of the environment, and the output is the action to take. The goal is to learn a policy that maximizes the cumulative reward over time, by exploring and exploiting the environment. For example, robotics, self- driving cars, and game-playing are reinforcement learning tasks. This material is exclusively for GSDC members and cannot be distributed, sold, or reproduced. Generative AI Professional Book of Knowledge © Global Skillup Certification Pvt. Ltd. 100D Pasir Panjang RD, #05 - 03 Meissa, Singapore 118520 6 1.4 Deep Learning and Neural Networks Deep learning (DL) is a branch of ML that uses artificial neural networks (ANNs) as the main learning model. ANNs are composed of layers of interconnected nodes that mimic the structure and function of biological neurons. ANNs can learn complex and nonlinear patterns from large and high- dimensional data. ANNs can be classified into different types based on the architecture and the function of the layers. The main types are: Feedforward neural networks: ANNs that have a single direction of information flow, from the input layer to the output layer, without any loops or cycles. For example, multilayer perceptrons (MLPs) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are feedforward neural networks. Recurrent neural networks: ANNs that have a bidirectional information flow, where the output of a layer can be fed back to the same or previous layer, creating a loop or cycle. This enables the network to have memory and process sequential data. For example, long short-term memory (LSTM) and gated recurrent units (GRU) are recurrent neural networks. 1.5 Generative and Discriminative Models Generative and discriminative models are two types of ML models that have different objectives and assumptions. The main differences are: Generative models: ML models that learn the joint probability distribution of the input and the output, P(X,Y), and can generate new data samples that are similar to the training data. For example, naive Bayes, hidden Markov models, and generative adversarial networks (GANs) are generative models. Discriminative models: ML models that learn the conditional probability distribution of the output given the input, P(Y|X), and can predict the output for a given input. For example, logistic regression, support vector machines, and decision trees are discriminative models. This material is exclusively for GSDC members and cannot be distributed, sold, or reproduced. Generative AI Professional Book of Knowledge © Global Skillup Certification Pvt. Ltd. 100D Pasir Panjang RD, #05 - 03 Meissa, Singapore 118520 7 1.6 Distinguishing Discriminative and Generative Models Discriminative and generative models have different advantages and disadvantages, depending on the task and the data. Some of the factors that can help distinguish them are: Data availability: Generative models can perform better when the data is scarce or imbalanced, as they can learn the underlying structure and distribution of the data, and generate new data samples. Discriminative models can perform better when the data is abundant and balanced, as they can learn the optimal decision boundary and minimize the prediction error. Data complexity: Generative models can handle complex and high- dimensional data, such as images, text, and audio, as they can capture the latent features and representations of the data, and generate realistic and diverse data samples. Discriminative models can handle simple and low-dimensional data, such as numerical or categorical data, as they can learn the direct mapping from the input to the output, and predict the output accurately. Data interpretation: Generative models can provide more interpretable and explainable results, as they can model the causal relationships and dependencies between the input and the output, and generate data samples that can be visualized and analyzed. Discriminative models can provide more precise and confident results, as they can estimate the probability and uncertainty of the output given the input, and predict the output with high accuracy and confidence. 2. Introduction to Generative AI Generative AI is a branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on creating new data or content that resembles the original data or content, such as images, text, audio, or video. Generative AI can have various applications, such as data augmentation, content creation, style transfer, image synthesis, text generation, and more. This material is exclusively for GSDC members and cannot be distributed, sold, or reproduced. Generative AI Professional Book of Knowledge © Global Skillup Certification Pvt. Ltd. 100D Pasir Panjang RD, #05 - 03 Meissa, Singapore 118520 8 Generative AI can also help us understand and explore the data better, by modeling its distribution, features, and relationships. 2.1 Introduction to Generative AI In this section, we will learn about the basic concepts and principles of generative AI, such as: What is generative AI and how does it work? Generative AI is a type of AI that aims to generate new data or content that is similar or related to the existing data or content. Generative AI works by learning the patterns, rules, and probabilities of the data, and using them to create new samples or variations. For example, a generative AI model can learn the features and styles of human faces, and generate new faces that look realistic and diverse. What are the main types and techniques of generative AI? There are different types and techniques of generative AI, depending on the goals and methods of the generation process. Some of the main types and techniques are: Generative adversarial networks (GANs): A type of generative AI that uses two competing neural networks, one that generates the data (generator) and one that evaluates the data (discriminator). The generator tries to fool the discriminator by creating realistic data, while the discriminator tries to distinguish between the real and fake data. The two networks learn from each other and improve over time, resulting in high-quality and diverse data. Variational autoencoders (VAEs): A type of generative AI that uses a neural network that encodes the data into a latent space (a compressed representation of the data), and another neural network that decodes the latent space into the data. The latent space captures the essential features and variations of the data, and can be manipulated to generate new data. The VAE This material is exclusively for GSDC members and cannot be distributed, sold, or reproduced. Generative AI Professional Book of Knowledge © Global Skillup Certification Pvt. Ltd. 100D Pasir Panjang RD, #05 - 03 Meissa, Singapore 118520 9 also imposes a probabilistic distribution on the latent space, which ensures that the generated data is smooth and coherent. Autoregressive models (ARMs): A type of generative AI that uses a neural network that predicts the next element of the data sequence, based on the previous elements. The network learns the conditional probabilities of the data, and can generate new data by sampling from the probabilities. For example, an ARM can generate text by predicting the next word, given the previous words. What are the advantages and challenges of generative AI? Generative AI has many advantages and challenges, such as: Advantages: Generative AI can create new and diverse data or content, which can be useful for various purposes, such as data augmentation, content creation, style transfer, image synthesis, text generation, and more. Generative AI can also help us understand and explore the data better, by modeling its distribution, features, and relationships. Generative AI can also enable new and creative applications and experiences, such as art, music, games, and education. Challenges: Generative AI can also pose various challenges, such as data quality, data diversity, data ethics, data security, and data evaluation. Generative AI can produce low-quality, inaccurate, or unrealistic data, which can affect the performance and reliability of the models and applications. Generative AI can also produce biased, harmful, or misleading data, which can affect the fairness and trustworthiness of the models and applications. Generative AI can also pose threats to the privacy and ownership of the data, which can affect the rights and interests of the data providers and users. Generative AI can also be difficult to evaluate and measure, as there are no clear and objective criteria or metrics for assessing the quality and diversity of the generated data. What are some examples and use cases of generative AI? There are many examples and use cases of generative AI, such as: This material is exclusively for GSDC members and cannot be distributed, sold, or reproduced.

Transformers are based on the idea of attention, which allows the network to focus on the relevant parts of the input and output sequences, and encode and decode them effectively. Transformers can also handle long-range dependencies and parallelize the computation, which makes them faster and more efficient than other architectures. The main components of transformers are: Encoder: The part of the network that takes the input sequence (such as a sentence or an image) and transforms it into a sequence of hidden representations (called embeddings), which capture the semantic and syntactic information of the input. Decoder: The part of the network that takes the output sequence (such as a sentence or an image) and generates it from the hidden representations, by predicting the next element of the sequence at each step. Self-attention: The mechanism that allows the network to compute the relevance or similarity of each element of the sequence to every other element, and assign different weights or scores to them. This helps the network to capture the context and dependencies within the sequence. Positional encoding: The technique that adds extra information to the embeddings, such as the position or order of each element in the sequence. This helps the network to preserve the sequential structure and meaning of the input and output. 2.7 Prompt Engineering Prompt engineering is a technique of designing and optimizing the input and output formats of generative AI models, such as transformers, to achieve the desired results.

Prompt engineering can also help us leverage the existing knowledge and capabilities of the models, without requiring extensive fine-tuning or retraining. Some of the best practices and strategies of prompt engineering are: Formulate and structure the prompts for different tasks and domains: Depending on the task and domain, the prompts can have different components and structures, such as a query, a command, a question, a template, a prefix, a suffix, a separator, a special token, etc. The prompts should also match the style and tone of the model and the data. Evaluate and improve the quality and diversity of the generated outputs: The outputs of the generative models can be evaluated and improved using various metrics and methods, such as accuracy, fluency, coherence, relevance, diversity, novelty, etc. The outputs can also be refined and filtered using post-processing techniques, such as beam search, temperature, top-k, top-p, etc. Avoid and mitigate the potential biases and errors of the generative models: The generative models can have various biases and errors, such as factual inaccuracies, logical inconsistencies, ethical issues, harmful content, etc. These can be avoided and mitigated using various approaches, such as data cleaning, data augmentation, adversarial training, debiasing, verification, etc. Use tools and platforms for prompt engineering: There are various tools and platforms that can help with prompt engineering, such as OpenAI Playground, Hugging Face Spaces, and PromptSource. These tools and platforms can provide various features and functionalities, such as prebuilt models, datasets, prompts, outputs, evaluations, etc. 2.8 What are Foundation Models Foundation models are a new paradigm of generative AI models that aim to learn general and comprehensive knowledge from large-scale and diverse data sources, such as text, images, audio, and video.

Foundation models can also serve as the basis for building specialized and customized models for various downstream tasks and domains. Some of the core concepts and challenges of foundation models are: Goals and promises of foundation models: The ultimate goal of foundation models is to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI), which is the ability to perform any intellectual task that humans can do. Foundation models promise to provide universal and scalable solutions for various AI problems, by leveraging the massive and diverse data available on the web and other sources. Methods and techniques for building and training foundation models: The main method and technique for building and training foundation models is self-supervised learning, which is a form of unsupervised learning that creates labels or objectives from the data itself, such as predicting the missing words in a sentence, or the missing pixels in an image. Other methods and techniques include multimodal learning, which integrates data from different modalities, such as text, images, and audio, and continual learning, which allows the model to learn new tasks and domains without forgetting the previous ones. Opportunities and risks of foundation models: Foundation models have various opportunities and risks, such as social impact, ethical implications, and governance issues. On one hand, foundation models can enable positive and beneficial applications and outcomes, such as improving education, health, entertainment, etc. On the other hand, foundation models can also pose negative and harmful threats and challenges, such as privacy violations, misinformation, bias, abuse, etc. Examples and initiatives of foundation models: There are various examples and initiatives of foundation models, such as DALL-E, CLIP, and The Alignment Forum. DALL-E is a generative model that can create images from text descriptions, such as "a cat wearing a suit".

The Alignment Forum is a community and platform that aims to align the goals and values of foundation models with those of humans. 3. Advanced Concepts and Applications of Generative AI In this section, we will explore some of the advanced concepts and applications of generative AI, with a focus on large language models (LLMs). LLMs are generative models that can produce natural language text from various inputs, such as words, sentences, images, or sounds. LLMs have shown remarkable capabilities and performance in various natural language processing and generation tasks, such as translation, summarization, dialogue, question answering, etc. 3.1 Introduction to Large Language Models (LLMs) A large language model (LLM) is a neural network model that is trained on a large corpus of text data, usually from the web or other sources. The goal of an LLM is to learn the statistical patterns and structure of natural language, such as vocabulary, grammar, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, etc. An LLM can generate natural language text by sampling from its learned probability distribution, given some input or prompt. Some of the features and characteristics of LLMs are: They are based on transformers, which are a type of neural network architecture that use attention mechanisms to encode and decode sequences of tokens. They are pretrained on a large and diverse corpus of text data, using self- supervised learning objectives, such as masked language modeling, which involves predicting the missing words in a sentence, or causal language modeling, which involves predicting the next word in a sequence.

Ltd. 100D Pasir Panjang RD, #05 - 03 Meissa, Singapore 118520 17 They are fine-tuned or adapted on specific tasks or domains, using supervised or unsupervised learning objectives, such as classification, regression, generation, etc. They are capable of generating fluent, coherent, and diverse text, by leveraging their learned knowledge and skills from the pretraining data. They are also capable of performing zero-shot or few-shot learning, which means they can perform tasks or domains without or with minimal training data, by using natural language prompts or examples as inputs. 3.2 Leveraging the Benefits of LLMs LLMs have many benefits and advantages for various natural language processing and generation tasks, such as: They can reduce the cost and complexity of building and training specialized models for each task or domain, by using a single general-purpose model that can be fine-tuned or adapted for different purposes. They can increase the quality and diversity of the generated text, by using a large and rich vocabulary, incorporating various linguistic and contextual information, and producing novel and creative outputs. They can enable new and innovative applications and use cases, such as text summarization, text synthesis, text rewriting, text augmentation, text completion, text correction, text analysis, text understanding, text extraction, text inference, text translation, text paraphrasing, text simplification, text sentiment analysis, text emotion detection, text style transfer, text summarization, text generation, text-to>text generation, text-to-image generation, image-to-text generation, speech-to-text generation, text-to- speech generation, etc. 3.3 The Evolution of LLM Development The development of LLMs has gone through several stages and milestones, such as: This material is exclusively for GSDC members and cannot be distributed, sold, or reproduced. Generative AI Professional Book of Knowledge © Global Skillup Certification Pvt. Ltd. 100D Pasir Panjang RD, #05 - 03 Meissa, Singapore 118520 18 The first stage was the introduction of recurrent neural network (RNN) based models, such as LSTM and GRU, which can process sequential data and capture long-term dependencies. Examples of RNN-based LLMs are ELMo and ULMFiT. The second stage was the introduction of transformer-based models, which can process parallel data and capture global attention. Examples of transformer-based LLMs are BERT and GPT. The third stage was the scaling up of transformer-based models, which can handle larger data and model sizes, and achieve better performance and capabilities. Examples of scaled-up transformer-based LLMs are T5, GPT-2, GPT-3, and BART. The current stage is the diversification and specialization of transformer-based models, which can incorporate different modalities, domains, languages, and objectives, and achieve more specific and customized results and outcomes. Examples of diversified and specialized transformer-based LLMs are DALL-E, CLIP, MARGE, and XLM-R. 3.4 Significance of Tuning Large Language Models Tuning large language models is a process of adapting or modifying an existing LLM to a specific task or domain, by using additional data or parameters.
