🧠 GenAI for Data Scientists [Migration Pending]

This repo is a practical, structured guide for data scientists transitioning into Generative AI β€” built from scratch to go from traditional ML to deploying GenAI applications.

🎯 Who is this for?

If you’re familiar with machine learning and want to ramp up on GenAI without getting lost in research papers, this is for you.

πŸ§ͺ Purpose

This is not a polished course or GenAI hype repo. It’s a deliberate, hands-on learning path. The goal: arrive at practical readiness to work with modern GenAI stacks β€” from Nueral Network fundamentals to real genAI app deployments.

🧱 Learning Flow

Each notebook is self-contained and builds on the prior:

  1. Neural Networks – Foundations of neural networks
  2. Deep Learning – Concepts like depth, activations, backprop
  3. Transformers Architecture – The core building block of LLMs
  4. Large Language Models – What makes a model an LLM
  5. Prompt Engineering – How to use models effectively
  6. Fine Tuning LLMs – When and how to fine-tune
  7. Huggingface Workflows – Real-world tooling and workflows
  8. GenAI Use Cases – Common applied patterns (Q&A, summarization, etc.)
  9. Deploying GenAI Models – Serve your own GenAI-powered apps
