        Sinan did an excellent job of providing us with a foundational lesson in NLP. There was a good balance of theoretical knowledge and practical applications. I appreciated that he spent time walking through real-world examples to help us understand how LLMs are being used in different technology contexts. I feel much more equipped to build products.

Course syllabus

01

Introduction to Large Language Models

Learn the history of modern NLP from the introduction of deep learning in solve language tasks to language modeling and the modern Transformer architecture

02

Natural Language Understanding with BERT

We will dissect the BERT architecture and the scaled dot product attention formula to understand how the encoder stack of the Transformer can be used to achieve state of the art results for Natural Language Understanding (NLU) tasks.

03

Natural Language Generation with FLAN-T5 & GPT

We will dissect the T5 and GPT architecture and see how the altered masked attention formula makes the decoder stack of the Transformer able to achieve state of the art results for Natural Language Understanding (NLU) tasks.


We use the GPT-3 API to solve NLP tasks and fine-tuning FLAN-T5 on a custom dataset

04

Prompt Engineering for GPT3 and ChatGPT

We will learn the fundamentals of prompt engineering to get the best results from GPT-3 and chatGPT's outputs.


We Fine-tune GPT-3 and use Embeddings and DALL-E 2 to create a compelling prototype

Course schedule

4-6 hours per week

  • Twice a week

    8:00am - 10:00am PT

    Sessions are twice a week for two hours each. Each session will have breaks and Q/A baked in.

  • Weekly office hours

    1 hour per week

    We will have at least one office hour a week where you can ask me anything about our course or something AI related. I'd love to hear about what you're working on and even pair program!
