Understand the AI

The models and ideas behind the projects — grouped by area, mapped to your track.

Foundations

Neural Networks

What it is: Layers of simple units that learn patterns from examples.

Where it is used: The base of almost every modern AI system.

Large Language Models (LLMs)

What it is: Models trained on huge text corpora that understand and generate language.

Where it is used: Chatbots, writing help, code, tutoring.

Computer Vision

What it is: Teaching computers to interpret images and video.

Where it is used: Recognizing objects, scenes, and actions.

Transformers

What it is: An architecture that uses attention to relate every part of the input.

Where it is used: Powers LLMs, vision, and speech models.

Reinforcement Learning

What it is: Learning by trial and reward to make good decisions over time.

Where it is used: Game AI, robotics, strategy.

Medical & Health

Medical Image Classification

What it is: Vision models that flag findings in scans and slides.

Where it is used: Triage support in clinics and radiology.

Clinical NLP

What it is: Language models that read clinical notes and guidelines.

Where it is used: Summarizing records, patient guidance.

Culture & Language

Machine Translation

What it is: Models that translate between languages while keeping meaning.

Where it is used: Preserving and sharing heritage languages.

Text-to-Speech

What it is: Turning written text into natural spoken audio.

Where it is used: Accessibility, storytelling, archives.

Recommendation Systems

What it is: Models that surface relevant content for each person.

Where it is used: Connecting communities to what matters.

Sports & Motion

Pose Estimation

What it is: Detecting body joints to analyze movement.
