SAVE the DATE | 6-8 November - Short Course on LLMs4Physics - PLEASE NOTE THAT THE FIRST LESSON STARTS AT 2:30 pm

[Infopoint]

TODAY Wednesday 6 November, we will host, at ICTP, the first lesson of a 
short course titled *Large Language Models for Physics, *taught by Dr. 
Cristiano De Nobili. This activity is part of the ICOMP's initiatives 
for the new academic year. The course is designed for young researchers 
in applied/theoretical physics and climate science, who are interested 
in applying large language models (LLMs) in their research. All the 
interested postdocs are very welcome!

Below you can find more info.


*Short description of the  course*

To warm up, we will review the basics of deep learning and PyTorch. Then 
the Transformer architecture and its Self-attention Mechanism will be 
introduced and coded. A simple, small but complete autoregressive 
generative language model such as GPT-2 will be built. This will allow 
us to understand several relevant aspects of more sophisticated 
pre-trained LLMs, such as GPT4, Mistral or Llama. Afterwards, we will 
play with open-source pre-trained LLMs and, if possible, fine-tune one 
of them. In the last part of the course, we will explore some 
interesting, also from a physical point of view, emerging abilities of 
LLMs, touch upon multi-agent systems and their collective behaviour.
