- 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
