Generative AI Roadmap
Phase 1: Foundations (Month 1-2)
- Learn Python and basic programming concepts.
- Study linear algebra, calculus, probability, and statistics.
- Understand machine learning fundamentals (supervised/unsupervised learning, regression,
classification).
- Tools: Jupyter, NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn.
Phase 2: Deep Learning (Month 3-4)
- Learn neural networks, backpropagation, activation functions.
- Study CNNs, RNNs, LSTMs, and attention mechanisms.
- Frameworks: TensorFlow, PyTorch.
- Projects: Image classification, sentiment analysis.
Phase 3: Generative Models (Month 5-6)
- Learn about GANs (Generative Adversarial Networks) and VAEs (Variational Autoencoders).
- Explore Diffusion models and Transformer-based generative models.
- Hands-on with GPT, DALL·E, StyleGAN.
- Projects: Text generation, image synthesis.
Phase 4: Advanced Topics (Month 7-8)
- Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs).
- Multimodal models (text + image).
- Reinforcement learning and RLHF (Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback).
Phase 5: Deployment & Applications (Month 9-10)
- Model deployment: REST APIs, Gradio, Streamlit.
- Understand MLOps, model monitoring, and versioning.
- Build AI products: chatbots, content creators, design tools.
Phase 6: Ethics & Future Trends (Month 11-12)
- Explore bias, fairness, interpretability, and data privacy.
- Keep up with emerging models and techniques.
- Contribute to open-source or research.
Bonus Tips:
