Additional information
by Bhawna Singh (Author)
This book delves into a broad spectrum of topics, covering the foundational aspects of Large Language Models (LLMs) such as PaLM, LLaMA, BERT, and GPT, among others.
The book takes you through the complexities involved in creating and deploying applications based on LLMs, providing you with an in-depth understanding of the model architecture. You will explore techniques such as fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and retrieval augmented generation (RAG). The book also addresses different ways to evaluate LLM outputs and discusses the benefits and limitations of large models. The book focuses on the tools, techniques, and methods essential for developing Large Language Models. It includes hands-on examples and tips to guide you in building applications using the latest technology in Natural Language Processing (NLP). It presents a roadmap to assist you in navigating challenges related to constructing and deploying LLM-based applications.
By the end of the book, you will understand LLMs and build applications with use cases that align with emerging business needs and address various problems in the realm of language processing.
