Reviews

This course prepares candidates to confidently tackle AI interviews by covering the most relevant and in-demand topics. You’ll explore neural network training (gradient descent, transfer learning, model compression), language processing (tokenization, embeddings, decoding), and transformer attention mechanisms (self-, cross-attention, and flash attention). You’ll gain a solid understanding of evaluation metrics like perplexity, BLEU, and ROUGE, and dive into modern AI challenges including hallucinations, jailbreaks, and interpretability. You’ll also learn cutting-edge methods such as RAG, few-shot learning, and Chain-of-Thought prompting—plus explore efficiency, scalability, Mixture of Experts, vector databases, and agentic AI behaviors.
