FAQ
-
What are Large Language Models (LLMs), and why are they important?
LLMs are AI models trained on vast amounts of text to understand and generate human-like language. They power applications like chatbots, content creation, and code generation.
-
How has NLP evolved over time?
NLP has progressed through several phases: Symbolic NLP (rule-based methods), Statistical NLP (probabilistic models), Deep Learning NLP (neural networks), and now Transformers and Large Language Models (LLMs), which provide state-of-the-art performance.
-
What role do transformers play in the advancement of NLP?
Transformers introduced the self-attention mechanism, allowing models to analyze entire text sequences at once rather than processing them sequentially. This led to faster, more accurate, and context-aware language models like GPT, BERT, and T5.
-
Will I receive a certificate upon completing the course?
Yes, the course provides a certification upon completion.
-
What challenges do LLMs face in real-world applications?
Hallucination: Generating incorrect or misleading information, Bias: Learning biases from training data, Compute Costs: High energy and hardware requirements, Interpretability: Difficulty in understanding why a model makes certain decisions.
