Foundation Models (engl.)
Foundation models also known as large X models are machine learning or deep learning models trained on a large set of multi-modal data. These models can be generative and applicable to a wide range of use cases. In this regard, both research and industrial communities are investing more and more on resources and training strategies demanded by the foundation models. Despite of the resource-intensive nature of the foundation models, the multi-modality of their training data and their tendency to build generic generative models allow them to be applied to various perception, prediction, and decision-making applications. The potentials of the foundation models not only lies on their large multi-modal data but also on their architectures, objective functions, and training strategies.

Requirements: Familiarities with deep neural networks, multi-modal data, and training strategies are helpful but not necessarily needed. Please bring your own laptop.
