Enrollment Open for Initiative Tailored for Professionals in
Public-Facing and Commercial Sectors
COLLEGE
PARK, Md., May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Data
scientists and engineers, especially in government and healthcare
sectors, can train for and individually develop a large language
model (LLM), like ChatGPT, in a forthcoming workshop from
the Office of Executive Education at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of
Business.
Enrollment is open for "Large Language Model Training and
Development," a topic of training new to the executive education
area and Greater Washington. It
will run in person at UMD's College
Park campus, 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on
Fridays, August 2-23,
2024.
"The workshop represents a deep dive into the technical
framework behind the large language model and fits with the Smith
School's innovative approach to AI," says instructor and
Associate Professor of Information Systems Kunpeng Zhang.
He lists the benefits of building LLMs for prospective
participants:
- Industry-specific accuracy: Developing AI models
that understand complex terminology and regulations unique to an
industry helps ensure precise and reliable results.
- Data security and compliance: This keeps sensitive
information confidential and compliant with regulations by training
models on internal data.
- Operational Efficiency: Streamlining processes and
enhancing decision-making with custom AI solutions meets the
specific needs of a given environment.
"This course is ideal for those familiar with Python and will
challenge participants to use their knowledge in real-time coding
exercises," Zhang says. "It is especially useful for data
scientists and data engineers in secure data environments whose use
of public-facing AI tools is restricted and who are interested in
creating their own. These solutions can be implemented in any
commercial environment without the need for extensive computing
resources."
In addition to deploying a customized LLM for an organization,
completion will enable participants to describe the foundations of
LLMs and transformers, implement a transformer-based LLM and
leverage a pre-trained and fine-tuned paradigm in text
understanding.

the Large Language Model Training and
Development homepage.
