Course Outline

Introduction

  • What are Large Language Models (LLMs)?
  • Comparing LLMs with traditional NLP models
  • Overview of LLM features and architecture
  • Challenges and limitations associated with LLMs

Understanding LLMs

  • The lifecycle of an LLM
  • Mechanisms behind how LLMs function
  • Key components of an LLM: encoder, decoder, attention mechanisms, embeddings, etc.

Getting Started

  • Setting up the Development Environment
  • Installing an LLM as a development tool, such as via Google Colab or Hugging Face

Working with LLMs

  • Exploring available LLM options
  • Creating and deploying an LLM
  • Fine-tuning an LLM on a custom dataset

Text Summarization

  • Understanding the task of text summarization and its practical applications
  • Utilizing LLMs for extractive and abstractive text summarization
  • Evaluating the quality of generated summaries using metrics such as ROUGE, BLEU, etc.

Question Answering

  • Understanding the task of question answering and its applications
  • Using LLMs for open-domain and closed-domain question answering
  • Evaluating answer accuracy using metrics such as F1, EM, etc.

Text Generation

  • Understanding the task of text generation and its use cases
  • Leveraging LLMs for conditional and unconditional text generation
  • Controlling the style, tone, and content of generated texts via parameters like temperature, top-k, top-p, etc.
