Abstract

This tutorial will discuss recent popular large language models (LLMs) and impart a practical understanding of how these state-of-the-art LLMs can be utilized across various NLP tasks. Specifically, we cover two models: Flan-T5 and Llama and demonstrate how these techniques can be integrated into various real-world applications.

Prerequisites:

  • Basic understanding of Transformers
  • Basic knowledge of NLP and benchmarks
  • Knowledge of Python and PyTorch

However, even if attendees are not familiar with these concepts, a brief overview will be provided during the tutorial before delving into the main hands-on content.
