NISO’s first of three virtual training series planned for 2024 covers AI
and prompt design
<https://niso.org/events/ai-prompt-design-2024-niso-training-series>. Join
us and develop the skills needed to put the power of large language models
(LLMs) to use in your organization!
AI and Prompt Design
<https://niso.org/events/ai-prompt-design-2024-niso-training-series>
Thursdays, 11:00 am–12:30 pm EDT (US/Canada)
April 4–May 23, 2023
This course will introduce students to prompt engineering with large
language models (LLMs)—how you design and tailor a message to get an LLM to
perform a specific task. It is designed for students with no coding
knowledge, and a basic knowledge of machine learning is helpful but not
required; the course will bring students up to speed with all the necessary
terminology and concepts.
Sessions will be divided between instruction and hands-on lessons in which
students will apply the material as they learn. LLMs are stochastic,
meaning they can behave unpredictably and inconsistently due to their
inherent randomness and make it challenging to use them to reproduce the
desired results. The course facilitator will lead students to explore the
types of issues that arise, why they occur, and how to address them.
Students will be required to subscribe to ChatGPT for the two-month
duration of the course. This will ensure that all students are working with
the same resources and eliminate the potential challenges that arise from
working across different software and models. That said, we will also
devote a session to introducing students to the world of open-source
machine learning so that they may explore it independently after the course
concludes.
Event Sessions
The series consists of eight weekly segments, each lasting 90 minutes and
scheduled on Thursdays at 11:00 am–12:30 pm (EDT US/Canada).
April 4: Introduction and Machine Learning
April 11: Large Language Models and Key Concepts
April 18: Beginning Conversations
April 25: Structured Data and Assistants
May 2: Named Entity Recognition with LLMs
May 9: Text Classification with LLMs
May 16: Open Source Language Models
May 23: Limitations and Potential Solutions
Recordings of each session will be made available to course registrants
within two business days of the close of the specific session.
Training Facilitator: William Mattingly, Postdoctoral Fellow, Smithsonian
Institution’s Data Science Lab
