Transformers

Looking to unlock the Secrets of AI? Dive into this TechTalk, where we'll understand about Transformers and discover how they power Large Language Models, revolutionizing everything from chatbots to cutting-edge tech. Join us to learn about the architecture behind the future of language understanding!

Our very own ITJ speakers: Steven Cole and Antonio Contreras, Biomedical Engineers, will enlighten you with their deep understanding and expertise in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Quantum Computing and more!

In this session, you'll learn how LLMs work, fine-tune models with Hugging Face, and explore real-world AI applications—all in one session!

What to expect:

• Understanding how transformers power large language models (LLMs) and why they outperform older architectures like RNNs and LSTMs.
• Learning to access, fine-tune, and deploy pre-trained models.
• Explore how transformers are used in everyday AI applications.
• Discussing AI ethics like bias and privacy.
• Gaining both theoretical and hands-on skills for your projects.

By the end of the session, you'll understand how transformers help machines understand language, know how to use tools like Hugging Face to work with AI models, and an informed perspective on their applications and ethical implications.
