Workshop: Train Language Model from Scratch

​Bring your laptop and learn to train a language model from scratch.

Many employers are specifically requesting that their staff upskill into relevant AI technologies. This community event is intended to help.

We specifically are planning to make this approachable for all levels of computer programmers. Please bring a laptop that you are already comfortable with. This isn't the right venue to break in a new one, especially if you're unfamiliar with the operating system.

We will be working through:

Which is a fork from someone else's study notes. I will be going through the material ahead of the workshop to check for rough edges.

We may include some insights from material written by Sebastian Raschka who wrote several books: https://sebastianraschka.com/books/

If you know anyone who wishes to sponsor this event, please introduce us.

More details (including schedule) to come.

If you have questions, please ask them ahead.
