Welcome to Modern AI Models for Vision and Multimodal Understanding, the third course in the Computer Vision specialization. In this first module, you’ll explore foundational mathematical tools used in modern AI models for vision and multimodal understanding. You’ll begin with Support Vector Machines (SVMs), learning how linear and radial basis function (RBF) kernels define decision boundaries and how support vectors influence classification. Then, you’ll dive into the Fourier Transform, starting with 1D signals and progressing to 2D applications. You’ll learn how to move between time/spatial and frequency domains using the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and its inverse, and how these transformations reveal patterns and structures in data. By the end of this module, you’ll understand how SVMs and Fourier analysis contribute to feature extraction, signal decomposition, and model interpretability in AI systems.

This module invites you to explore how probability theory and sequential modeling power modern AI systems. You’ll begin by examining how conditional and joint probabilities shape predictions in language and image models, and how the chain rule enables structured generative processes. Then, you’ll transition to recurrent neural networks (RNNs), learning how they handle sequential data through hidden states and feedback loops. You’ll compare RNNs to feedforward models, explore architectures like one-to-many and sequence-to-sequence, and address challenges like vanishing gradients. By the end, you’ll understand how probabilistic reasoning and temporal modeling combine to support tasks ranging from text generation to autoregressive image synthesis.

This module explores how attention-based architectures have reshaped the landscape of deep learning for both language and vision. You’ll begin by unpacking the mechanics of the Transformer, including self-attention, multi-head attention, and the encoder-decoder structure that enables parallel sequence modeling. Then, you’ll transition to Vision Transformers (ViTs), where images are tokenized and processed using the same principles that revolutionized NLP. Along the way, you’ll examine how normalization, positional encoding, and projection layers contribute to model performance. By the end, you’ll understand how Transformers and ViTs unify sequence and spatial reasoning in modern AI systems.

In this module, you’ll explore two transformative approaches in multimodal and generative AI. First, you’ll dive into CLIP, a model that learns a shared embedding space for images and text using contrastive pre-training. You’ll see how CLIP enables zero-shot classification by comparing image embeddings to textual descriptions, without needing labeled training data. Then, you’ll shift to diffusion models, which generate images through a gradual denoising process. You’ll learn how noise prediction, time conditioning, and reverse diffusion combine to produce high-quality samples. This module highlights how foundational models can bridge modalities and synthesize data with remarkable flexibility.
