ChatGPT was one of the best things to ever happen to data science – not so much because of what it can do, but because, virtually overnight, it made AI and data science mainstream.
However, while most data scientists now have experience with ChatGPT and other large language model (LLM)-based technologies as end users, few have had experience in building their own LLM-based tools.
In this episode, Dr Mudasser Iqbal joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to discuss the data science behind LLMs and how to go about doing just that.
