Large Language Models for Coders

Data scientists, often part of large engineering teams, are tasked with creating performant algorithms to drive business improvements. While conventional training focuses on clean datasets and algorithm testing, a gap exists in the knowledge required for the practical integration of machine learning into engineering stacks. This certificate aims to bridge that gap.

Participants are expected to be familiar with basic statistics and Python.

• Genesis of Large Language Models
• In-Depth Analysis of Language Modeling
• Operational Framework for Large Language Models
• Data Engineering Strategies for Large Language Models
• Training Large Language Models
• Deployment of Large Language Models in Production
• Practical Applications of Large Language Models
