The AI360/AI360 program will be the first in Russia in the higher education segment for future architects and artificial intelligence (AI) researchers.
It is reported that graduates will be able to solve complex problems in the field of AI and “will be in demand by major players in the IT market and scientific laboratories.”
The key difference between AI360 and existing programs is its focus on training specialists capable of creating new fundamental models, architectures and machine learning algorithms, the partners report.
Students will be taught mathematical analysis, talk about algorithms and data structures, MLOps and learn how to design solutions in the field of generative technologies, large language models, computer vision, autonomous systems and robotics.
For students of the program, an increased scholarship and personal grants are provided to access the computing power of Yandex and Sber. This will enable program participants to conduct comprehensive research and experiments in the field of AI and design out-of-the-box solutions during training.
The programs were developed by the participating universities together with experts from Yandex, Sber and the School of Data Analysis. The professors will be leading researchers in the field of artificial intelligence, as well as developers of AI solutions and products.
