Build Image Captioning Models

Ever wondered how AI can 'see' and describe the world around it? Image captioning models bridge the gap between visual information and natural language descriptions. This course will guide you from the fundamental concepts of machine learning and natural language processing to the practical application of building your own models that can generate coherent and accurate descriptions for images. You will develop a solid understanding of how these powerful AI systems work and gain the skills to implement them. What you'll learn: * Understand the core principles of deep learning for both computer vision and natural language processing. * Learn common neural network architectures, including convolutional neural networks and recurrent networks, used in captioning. * Apply techniques for preparing image and text datasets for model training. * Develop and train basic image captioning models from scratch. * Evaluate model performance using standard metrics and interpret results. * Explore foundational concepts of generative AI in the context of text generation. * Address ethical considerations and potential biases in AI-generated image descriptions. The course begins with essential terminology and foundational concepts, then progresses to exploring key model architectures and practical steps for training and evaluating your own captioning systems. This course is designed for absolute beginners with no prior experience in machine learning, deep learning, or computer vision. All necessary foundational knowledge is covered.
