5 Review(s) | Add Your Review

This comprehensive course delves into the advanced aspects of Natural Language Processing (NLP) with a focus on Large Language Models (LLM). It is designed to equip learners with a deep understanding of the foundational elements of NLP, including the applications and use cases, the role of large language models like BERT and GPT-3, and the intricate details of the transformer architecture. Participants will explore the matrix calculus behind self-attention mechanisms, understand multi-head attention, and compare various large language models, providing a robust framework for understanding the current state of NLP technology.

In the subsequent modules, the course emphasizes practical skills in word embedding and language model development, exploring various algorithms and similarity measures. Learners will gain hands-on experience in training NLP models, including text classification using BERT. The course also introduces learners to the Hugging Face framework, covering main NLP tasks, encoder-decoder models, and sequence-to-sequence models. By the end of the course, participants will be proficient in determining and implementing effective NLP strategies, ready to build their first NLP demo and apply these skills in real-world scenarios.
