Course Outline

Introduction

  • What are Large Language Models (LLMs)?
  • Comparison of LLMs with traditional Natural Language Processing (NLP) models
  • Overview of LLM features and architecture
  • Challenges and limitations associated with LLMs

Understanding LLMs

  • The lifecycle of an LLM, from development to deployment
  • Detailed explanation of how LLMs function
  • Key components of an LLM: encoder, decoder, attention mechanisms, embeddings, and more

Getting Started

  • Setting up the development environment for government use
  • Installing an LLM as a development tool, such as Google Colab or Hugging Face, for government applications

Working with LLMs

  • Exploring available LLM options suitable for government tasks
  • Creating and utilizing an LLM for government projects
  • Fine-tuning an LLM on a custom dataset specific to government needs

Text Summarization

  • Understanding the task of text summarization and its applications in government operations
  • Using an LLM for both extractive and abstractive text summarization for government documents
  • Evaluating the quality of generated summaries using metrics such as ROUGE, BLEU, etc., for government reporting

Question Answering

  • Understanding the task of question answering and its applications in public sector information retrieval
  • Using an LLM for open-domain and closed-domain question answering for government inquiries
  • Evaluating the accuracy of generated answers using metrics such as F1, Exact Match (EM), etc., for government assessments

Text Generation

  • Understanding the task of text generation and its applications in government communications
  • Using an LLM for conditional and unconditional text generation for government reports and documents
  • Controlling the style, tone, and content of generated texts using parameters such as temperature, top-k, top-p, etc., to meet government standards

Integrating LLMs with Other Frameworks and Platforms

  • Using LLMs with PyTorch or TensorFlow for government projects
  • Using LLMs with Flask or Streamlit to develop government applications
  • Using LLMs with Google Cloud or AWS for scalable government solutions

Troubleshooting

  • Understanding common errors and bugs in LLMs for government use cases
  • Using TensorBoard to monitor and visualize the training process for government models
  • Using PyTorch Lightning to simplify the training code and improve performance for government applications
  • Using Hugging Face Datasets to load and preprocess data for government projects
