EXECUTIVE SUMMARY – “Generative AI using Diffusion Models” advanced workshop will be held on July 11, 2025, from 9 AM to 5 PM EDT via TEAMS. Registrants must have an email ending in “ecpi.edu” and prove completion of the beginner “Fundamentals of Deep Learning” certification from NVIDIA. Just email Paul Nussbaum at PNussbaum@ecpi.edu to register.
DETAILS – Attention ECPI Students, Faculty, Staff, and Alumni who are Researching AI – and who have already earned the “Fundamentals of Deep Learning” certification from NVIDIA (or otherwise have experience building, training, and testing AI Deep Learning Solutions)…
You’re probably already familiar with “deep fakes” in the news, or maybe you’ve played around with image generation on ChatGPT or Copilot. In these cases, a text prompt is used to create fun, creative, and sometimes very realistic images.
Are you curious how this is done and perhaps wish to start a project of your own? Well now you can not only learn how it’s done, you can actually build, train, and test your own solution that creates an image based on text you provide – and earn a numbered and traceable certificate from NVIDIA – all in one day!
This exciting new workshop called Generative AI with Diffusion Models is where you learn how to build, train, and test these “text to image” solutions. This is an important area of research, as Generative AI moves from simply text based LLM models to multi-modal AI models, including audio, video, chemical and physical structures, as well as robotic motion. For example, although this 1-day workshop only covers image generation, I’ve already used diffusion models to create physical designs that I have successfully 3D printed; so I am eager to see what you will create!
I will hold the workshop on Friday July 11 (week 3 of the term, the week after our summer break), from 9 AM to 5 PM Eastern Time remotely via TEAMS, so please let me know ASAP if you would like to attend (email me at PNussbaum@ecpi.edu and be prepared to show me you’ve earned your “Fundamentals of Deep Learning” NVIDIA Certificate).

(The $500 per-seat fee is waived for the aforementioned attendees with emails ending in “ecpi.edu” because I am an Ambassador for NVIDIA’s Deep Learning Institute – partnering with ECPI University.)
—Best Regards, and hope to see you then!
