Title

Generative A.I. with Large Language Models

Abstract

At an unprecedented pace, Large Language Models like GPT-4 are transforming the world in general and the field of data science in particular. This two-hour training introduces deep learning transformer architectures including LLMs. Critically, it also demonstrates the breadth of capabilities of state-of-the-art LLMs like GPT-4 can deliver, including for dramatically revolutionizing the development of machine learning models and commercially successful data-driven products, accelerating the creative capacities of data scientists and pushing them in the direction of being data product managers. Brought to life via hands-on code demos that leverage the Hugging Face and PyTorch Lightning Python libraries, this training covers the full lifecycle of LLM development, from training to production deployment.
