LLM for private data

Thursday 28 Nov 2024, 09:00 → 16:00 Europe/Warsaw

online

This training focuses on the possibilities of utilizing large language models (LLMs) for interacting with private data. It introduces tools that harness the generative power of artificial intelligence in scenarios where data cannot leave the private environment at any point. The training covers the architecture and data requirements for creating a private ChatGPT, leveraging an understanding of the semantics of defined problems while maintaining control over private data.

Requirements

Participants' computers should be equipped with software that allows SSH connections.

Venue

The workshop will be conducted online on the Zoom platform. The meeting link will be sent to registered participants.

Language

English/Polish - dependent on the participants.
