Course Outline

Introduction

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

Understanding LLMs

  • The lifecycle of an LLM
  • 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 Google Colab or Hugging Face

Working with LLMs

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

Text Summarization

  • Understanding the task of text summarization and its applications
  • Using an LLM 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 an LLM for open-domain and closed-domain question answering
  • Evaluating the accuracy of generated answers using metrics such as F1, EM, etc.

Text Generation

  • Understanding the task of text generation and its applications
  • Using an LLM for conditional and unconditional text generation
  • Controlling the style, tone, and content of generated texts via parameters such as temperature, top-k, top-p, etc.
