 > The curriculum begins with a brief overview of key historical NLP techniques. It then transitions to the transformer architecture, focusing on its attention mechanism and tokenization—the core of modern LLMs. Pre-training objectives such as masked/denoising language modeling and causal language modeling will also be covered, forming the basis for models like BERT, GPT, and T5. The course then examines LLM post-training techniques used to refine pre-trained models, including instruction tuning (SFT), reinforcement learning from human feedback (e.g., PPO/DPO), and reinforcement learning from verifiable rewards (e.g., GRPO). Finally, the course will address LLM application and future directions—including RAG, agents, multimodality, and alternative model architectures. > The curriculum begins with a brief overview of key historical NLP techniques.

-**CSC_53439_EP - Deep Reinforcement Learning (24h, 2 ECTS), Jesse Read** (contact: jesse.read@polytechnique.edu) 
-> Reinforcement learning (RL) is of increasing relevance today, including in games, complex energy systems, recommendation engines, finance, logistics, and for auto-tuning the parameters of other learning frameworks. This course assumes familiarity with the foundations of RL and its main paradigms (temporal-difference learning, Monte Carlo, and policy-gradient methods). We will explore them further, and study modern state-of-the-art variants (such as proximal policy optimization), with a focus on developing RL solutions with deep neural architectures suited to modern applications. We will also take a look at specialized topics such inverse reinforcement learning.

-> This course presents the AI-related methods developed in Computer Graphics to create or generate individual 3D shapes, animated landscapes and humanoid motion. We first introduce user-centered Creative AI, i.e. smart 3D models - either based on knowledge or trained from examples, designed to help users creating and controlling 3D shapes and environments. Second, we focus on the use of AI in Character Animation, from early motion planning and control methods to deep reinforcement learning solutions. These methods result into 3D character models able to navigate alone or within crowds, and to interact with their environment. The lab sessions are held on Unity, based on C#.

-**CSC_54456_EP - Navigation for Autonomous systems (24h, 2 ECTS), David Filliat (ENSTA)** (contact: david.filliat@ensta-paris.fr) +**To be completed soon.**
-> Drones and robots must create maps of their surroundings to plan their movement and navigate. This course presents the robotic platforms and the most common sensors (vision, Lidar, intertial units, odometry …) and the different components of navigation: control; obstacle avoidance; localization; mapping (SLAM) and trajectory planning as well as filtering (Kalman filter, particle filtering, etc.) and optimization techniques used in these fields.  +

-**CSC_54441_EP - Introduction to the verification of neural networks (24h, 2 ECTS), Eric Goubault (EP), Sylvie Putot (EP)** (contact: sylvie.putot@polytechnique.edu) - Elective course +
-> Neural networks are widely used in numerous applications including safety-critical ones such as control and planning for autonomous systems. A central question is how to verify that they are correct with respect to some specification. Beyond correctness or robustness, we are also interested in questions such as explainability and fairness, that can in turn be specified as formal verification problems. In this course, we will see how formal methods approaches introduced in the context of program verification can be leveraged to address the verification of neural networks.  +

-**CSC_54445_EP - Geometric Algorithms for Point Patterns and 2D embedded Structures, Across Applications in Visual Computing (24h, 2 ECTS), Pooran Memari** (contact: pooran.memari@polytechnique.edu) - Elective course +

-> Many interactive systems, from virtual companions to online retailing, rely on embodied conversational agents. These agents need to reach a good level of communication skills to conduct a conversation with humans and be acceptable and trustworthy by humans. This course will introduce non-verbal behavior models, present models for multimodal dialog, opinion detection and voice quality, explain how to model the agent's emotions and their evolution over time, and present methods for enhancing naturalism with expressive gaze and gestures, realistic animation.  +

-> Metaverse and virtual/augmented reality technologies are spreading widely. But reconstructing our world and generating virtual ones would be useless without effective techniques to navigate and interact with them. This course will present virtual and augmented reality systems as well as the associated methods for 3D interaction, from multi-modal interaction merging visual immersion, sound and haptics systems to brain-computer interfaces. +
- +
-**CSC_54434_EP - 3D Computer Vision (24h, 2 ECTS), Xi Wang (EP)** (contact: Xi.Wang@polytechnique.edu) +
-> This course presents modern 3D computer vision in a clear, step-by-step progression: we begin with classical multi-view reconstruction and structure‑from‑motion pipelines, then advance to neural implicit representations for novel‑view synthesis (e.g., NeRF), proceed to explicit geometry rendering via 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), and finally explore generative 3D models: e.g., 3D generation guided by 2D generative score distillation (DreamFusion-like), data‑driven 3D/4D content generation for dynamic scenes and motion, and the latest video generation techniques.  +
