I liked the course, It was informative with a little of coding assignments. The coding assignments could be a bit more in depth.
Large language models such as GPT-3.5, which powers ChatGPT, are changing how humans interact with computers and how computers can process text. This course will introduce the fundamental ideas of natural language processing and language modelling that underpin these large language models. We will explore the basics of how language models work, and the specifics of how newer neural-based approaches are built. We will examine the key innovations that have enabled Transformer-based large language models to become dominant in solving various language tasks. Finally, we will examine the challenges in applying these large language models to various problems including the ethical problems involved in their construction and use.
