The book guides you through a range of transformer architectures from foundation models and generative AI. You?ll pretrain and fine-tune LLMs and work through different use cases, from summarization to question-answering systems leveraging embedding-based search. You'll also implement Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) to enhance accuracy and gain greater control over your LLM outputs. Additionally, you?ll understand common LLM risks, such as hallucinations, memorization, and privacy issues, and implement mitigation strategies using moderation models alongside rule-based systems and knowledge integration. Dive into generative vision transformers and multimodal architectures, and build practical applications, such as image and video classification. Go further and combine different models and platforms to build AI solutions and explore AI agent capabilities.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
