Board Infinity

Advanced Deep Learning Architectures

via Coursera Learning path or series

Overview

This three-course specialization is built for engineers who have moved past the basics and are ready to tackle the complexities of modern, massive deep learning architectures. You will go under the hood of Transformers and Diffusion Models — mastering not just how they work, but how to fine-tune and optimize them for specific use cases without needing a million-dollar compute cluster. Starting with advanced architectures, you will work with Vision Transformers, ConvNeXt, and modern training dynamics including RMSNorm, SwiGLU activations, and Mixed Precision Training using PyTorch Lightning and Timm.

As you progress, you will deep-dive into decoder-only Transformer internals, KV Caching, and Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning using LoRA and QLoRA to fine-tune billion-parameter models on consumer GPUs.
