商品描述

This book serves as an introduction to the science and applications of Large Language Models (LLMs). You'll discover the common thread that drives some of the most revolutionary recent applications of artificial intelligence (AI): from conversational systems like ChatGPT or BARD, to machine translation, summary generation, question answering, and much more.

At the heart of these innovative applications is a powerful and rapidly evolving discipline, natural language processing (NLP). For more than 60 years, research in this science has been focused on enabling machines to efficiently understand and generate human language. The secrets behind these technological advances lie in LLMs, whose power lies in their ability to capture complex patterns and learn contextual representations of language. How do these LLMs work? What are the available models and how are they evaluated? This book will help you answer these and many other questions. With a technical but accessible introduction:

  • You will explore the fascinating world of LLMs, from its foundations to its most powerful applications
  • You will learn how to build your own simple applications with some of the LLMs

Designed to guide you step by step, with six chapters combining theory and practice, along with exercises in Python on the Colab platform, you will master the secrets of LLMs and their application in NLP.

From deep neural networks and attention mechanisms, to the most relevant LLMs such as BERT, GPT-4, LLaMA, Palm-2 and Falcon, this book guides you through the most important achievements in NLP. Not only will you learn the benchmarks used to evaluate the capabilities of these models, but you will also gain the skill to create your own NLP applications. It will be of great value to professionals, researchers and students within AI, data science and beyond.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書作為大型語言模型(LLMs)科學及應用的入門介紹。您將發現驅動一些最具革命性人工智慧(AI)應用的共同主題:從像 ChatGPT 或 BARD 這樣的對話系統,到機器翻譯、摘要生成、問題回答等更多應用。

這些創新應用的核心是一個強大且快速發展的學科——自然語言處理(NLP)。在過去的60多年中,這一科學的研究一直專注於使機器能夠有效理解和生成自然語言。這些技術進步的秘密在於 LLMs,其力量在於捕捉複雜模式和學習語言的上下文表示。這些 LLMs 是如何運作的?有哪些可用的模型,如何評估它們?本書將幫助您回答這些及其他許多問題。提供一個技術但易於理解的介紹:

- 您將探索 LLMs 的迷人世界,從其基礎到最強大的應用
- 您將學習如何使用一些 LLMs 建立自己的簡單應用

本書設計為逐步指導,包含六個結合理論與實踐的章節,以及在 Colab 平台上的 Python 練習,您將掌握 LLMs 的秘密及其在 NLP 中的應用。

從深度神經網絡和注意力機制,到最相關的 LLMs,如 BERT、GPT-4、LLaMA、Palm-2 和 Falcon,本書將引導您了解 NLP 中最重要的成就。您不僅會學習用於評估這些模型能力的基準,還將獲得創建自己 NLP 應用的技能。這對於 AI、數據科學及其他領域的專業人士、研究人員和學生將具有很大的價值。

作者簡介

John Atkinson-Abutridy, received a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, and currently is a full professor at the Faculty of Engineering and Sciences at Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez in Santiago, Chile. Over the years, he has also held full-time academic positions at various Chilean universities and abroad as a visiting professor and researcher at university and research centers in Europe (France, UK), Unites States (MIT, IBM T.J. Watson) and various Latin American universities. Dr. Atkinson-Abutridy's primary research interests span into Natural Language Processing, textual analytics, artificial intelligence, and bio-inspired computing. His academic career includes the publication of nearly one hundred scientific papers and the authorship of two books. Recently, he has been at the forefront of numerous scientific and technological projects at national and international level, serving as an AI consultant for many companies and founding AI-Empowered. In recognition of his substantial contributions to the field of computer science, Dr. Atkinson-Abutridy received the Senior Member Award by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) in the United States in 2010. Among his notable accomplishments, he pioneered the first worldwide web-based natural language dialogue model in 2005, a precursor to today's ChatGPT system. In 2023, he released the second edition of his book, "Text Analytics: An Introduction to the Science and Applications of Unstructured Information Analysis" (Taylor & Francis, USA), which was recognized as the top choice in the text mining category by the Book Authority organization.
