Building Generative AI Based Applications With LLMs and Data Augmentation Architectures

Join us for a one-day workshop on Generative AI and large language models. This event aims to provide participants in-depth knowledge of the latest advancements in natural language processing, computer vision, and machine learning techniques for Gen AI.

The workshop will explore real-life applications of large language models using cutting-edge models such as GPT, PalM, Gemini, and open-source LLMs. Participants will also learn how to use industry-standard LLMs with APIs, fine-tune models on their data, and deploy private LLM-based assistants.

Upon completing the workshop, attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of integrating Generative AI into data solutions.
