Finetuning Large Language Models

In this short course, you’ll learn essential finetuning concepts and how to train a large language model using your own data. You’ll be equipped to incorporate the latest techniques to optimize your model and produce transformative results. When you complete this course, you will be able to: Understand when to apply finetuning on LLMs Prepare your data for finetuning Train and evaluate an LLM on your data With finetuning, you’re able to take your own data to train the model on it, and update the weights of the neural nets in the LLM, changing the model compared to other methods like prompt engineering and Retrieval Augmented Generation. Finetuning allows the model to learn style, form, and can update the model with new knowledge to improve results.

I learned overview of LLM finetuning from almost zero and was able to have meaningful discussion with AI tech people e.g. whether to go fore fine-tuning or not, how to gather data for fine-tuning.

Great workshop for LLM beginners who wants to get hands-on in the same day of LLM fine tuning activities. Great thanks to Dr.Sharon Zhou to make the LLM fine-tuning as simple as train a DNN model.

An "intro" course that is great for folks with only a little bit of experience in using LLMs. Great start to begin getting into the "good" stuff!
