Advanced Data Structures in Java
How does Google Maps plan the best route for getting around town given current traffic conditions? How does an internet router forward packets of network traffic to minimize delay? How does an aid group allocate resources to its affiliated local partners? To solve such problems, we first represent the key pieces of data in a complex data structure. In this course, you’ll learn about data structures, like graphs, that are fundamental for working with structured real world data. You will develop, implement, and analyze algorithms for working with this data to solve real world problems. In addition, as the programs you develop in this course become more complex, we’ll examine what makes for good code and class hierarchy design so that you can not only write correct code, but also share it with other people and maintain it in the future. The backbone project in this course will be a route planning application. You will apply the concepts from each Module directly to building an application that allows an autonomous agent (or a human driver!) to navigate its environment. And as usual we have our different video series to help tie the content back to its importance in the real world and to provide tiered levels of support to meet your personal needs.

Building RAG Systems with Open Models
The Building RAG Systems with Open Models course is designed for developers, engineers, and technical product builders who are new to Generative AI but already have intermediate machine learning knowledge, basic Python proficiency, and familiarity with development environments such as VS Code, and who want to engineer, customize, and deploy open generative AI solutions while avoiding vendor lock-in. The course provides learners with the skills to design and implement retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) applications for real-world use cases. Learners start by exploring the fundamentals of RAG architecture, breaking down key components such as retrievers, rankers, generators, and orchestration layers, while learning design patterns for tasks like question answering, summarization, and knowledge synthesis. They then dive into embeddings and vector databases, comparing FAISS, ChromaDB, Milvus, and Pinecone, and applying indexing and chunking strategies to improve retrieval efficiency and semantic relevance. The final module brings all elements together to build production-ready RAG pipelines using LangChain and open LLMs, incorporating advanced retrieval methods, hallucination mitigation, and evaluation frameworks for accuracy and reliability. By the end, learners will have built a functional RAG application with configurable components, optimized for performance and equipped with robust evaluation metrics.
