This programme is conducted on-campus.
2 days
Weekdays (9am - 6pm)
Singapore Management University
Who Should Attend
- AI and Machine Learning Engineers looking to build Gen AI applications
- AI Scientists
- Data Analysts
- Software Engineers
- IT Professionals and Team Leads
Participants are required to have a functional laptop with the following specifications:
- CPU: Must be at least Intel Core i3.
- GPU: Must have an integrated graphics card.
- RAM: Must be at least 4GB.
No prior experience is required. Participants are expected to be proficient in computer usage and possess fundamental logical thinking or numeracy skills. A proactive approach to learning through practical exercises is essential.
Overview
As enterprises increasingly look to operationalise AI, the ability to design scalable, secure, and maintainable deployments becomes critical for achieving business value and regulatory compliance.
Practical exercises cover tools like the LangChain framework, vector databases, and MLOps platforms to monitor and optimise deployed systems. The module also explores challenges such as scalability, reproducibility, and latency, with hands-on activities to address these issues.
The module additionally introduces Generative AI solution patterns - common reusable architectural approaches for integrating LLMs into real-world systems. These include Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), AI agents and agentic workflows, prompt-chaining, multi-modal integration, and guardrails with policy enforcement. Learners will also explore how to deploy Generative AI solutions across cloud, on-premise, and hybrid scenarios. By the end of the module, learners will understand how to deploy, manage, and scale Deep Learning models effectively for business applications.
