Contents:

N-gram language models, neural language modeling, word2vec, RNNs, Transformers, BERT, RLHF, ChatGPT, multilingual alignment, prompting, transfer learning, domain adaptation, linguistic knowledge in large language models

Learning Goals:

The participants will first learn the basics of n-gram language models, neural language modeling, RNNs and Transformers. In the second half of the seminar, participants will present an application of a modern large language model, intelligent chatbot or similar system. This class will involve a large amount of reading on both the basics and advanced topics.
