Brown-bag Webinar: How to Train an LLM (No Coding)

This webinar is part of a new brown-bag series designed for on-the-go individuals who take their lunch with a healthy serving of learning. Let us know if you want to see more of the same or at another time slot.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are a powerful new form of AI that can understand and generate human-like text. This presentation will provide an overview of what LLMs are, how they work, and methods for customising them with domain datasets to solve specific business problems. We'll cover the hierarchy of approaches for introducing new data to LLMs, including full training, fine-tuning, and providing context. Practical considerations, opportunities and example use cases for applying LLMs in areas like customer interactions and cybersecurity will also be discussed. Attendees will walk away with a foundation in this cutting-edge technology and ideas for harnessing LLMs using prompt engineering strategies in their own organisations and everyday life.  At the end of the presentation, we will take a look at PMI resources to help your AI journey.
