Explore why natural language challenges computer processing by examining its evolution, context dependence, and ambiguity. See how text differs from numbers and images in the digital world, complicating interpretation.
Analyze the stages of nlp from morphology and syntax to semantics and pragmatics, and trace the shift from rule-based and probabilistic models to deep learning with transformers and chatbots.
Explore how biological neurons inspire neural networks and deep learning, from dendrites and synapses to perceptrons with weights and biases that produce outputs via thresholds, including 'fire together, wire together'.
Trace deep learning from the perceptron and universal approximation theorem to multi-layer networks, with convolutional networks for images and recurrent networks for language, and LSTM/GRU gates with attention.
Explore the transformer architecture, including encoder–decoder blocks, self-attention and multi-head attention, with positional encoding and input embeddings that enable parallel processing and outperformed prevailing models in English-to-German translation.
Delve into the encoder–decoder transformer with input embedding, positional encoding, self-attention and multi-head attention, and learn training, masking, and fine-tuning concepts.
Explore decoding GPT with ChatGPT hands-on techniques, including prompt engineering, role prompts, and features like grammar correction, SQL conversion, and code generation.
Master programmatic access to the OpenAI API, compare it with ChatGPT for data privacy and pricing, and learn setup steps, models, tokens, and temperature to generate responses.
Train a custom model by fine-tuning a general bot with your data using transfer learning, vector indices, and embeddings, then deploy via OpenAI API and LangChain for domain Q&A.
Explore the future of generative AI and the evolving GPT landscape from GPT-3 to GPT-4. Trace AI hype cycles, transformers, and milestone moments to assess the tipping point.
Explore how GPT-4 expands multimodal input, coding in all languages with a 25,000-word context, and copilot innovations for code and office tasks, while considering future AI and AGI implications.
Are you still wondering what ChatGPT is all about? Why some people are calling it the 'steam engine' moment in AI history? Will it change our future in a significant way?
This basic course in 'Decoding GPT' may help you answer some of the above questions. You dont need any technical or coding background to know the basic fundamentals covered in the course. This course is designed for functional consultants, product managers as well as developers and architects.
The course covers the basic theory of language and why it is difficult for computers. It covers chronologically the scientific progress made in natural language processing. It explains the pre-GPT era using statistical models and later using neural networks like RNN. The recent development in chat GPT has fundamentally changed this knowledge area.
The course talks about the theory behind transformers and how they can handle the natural language tasks so well. The course also has hands-on sessions on the use of Chat GPT and the GPT APIs to create our own custom applications. In the final section the course talks about the future of GPT and how these tools can eventually lead to the creation of artificial general intelligence.
This course is for beginners and no background in computers or AI is required.
