** Here's a hypothetical case study, based on realistic scenarios, of how a team of four college students might structure and construct their Large Language Model (LLM) AI project using
TensorFlow: (Get your TensorFlow Certification Exam) Team Composition and Roles
Alice (Project Manager): Oversees project timeline, coordinates team meetings, and ensures deliverables are met. She has a strong background in project management and a basic understanding of AI and ML. Bob (Data Scientist): Responsible for organizing the data acquisition, cleaning, and preprocessing. Bob has experience in Python and data manipulation techniques. Charlie (MLOps Engineer): Focuses on the model architecture, training, and optimization. Charlie has proficiency in PyTorch and TensorFlow. Diana (Application Developer): Works on integrating the model into a user-friendly interface. Diana is skilled in web development and API integrations. Project Plan
Develop a text-based LLM AI capable of performing specific tasks, such as: The model should be accessible via a simple web interface: You could use PYFLASK For your project it is fine to interact via the Google Collab console Research and Resource Allocation: Extensive research on existing LLMs like GPT and BERT. Allocating cloud resources on Google Colab for model training and testing. Data Acquisition and Preprocessing: Collecting large datasets from publicly available sources like Common Crawl or academic datasets. Cleaning and preprocessing the data to make it suitable for training. This includes tokenization, removing non-relevant data, and data formatting. We have observed the use of PyTorch methods to do this. Model Selection and Training: Choosing a base model architecture suitable for LLMs, such as Transformer models. via the method calls in PyTorch Customizing and scaling the model architecture in PyTorch or TensorFlow to fit their needs. You could RunPod.io Training the model on the processed data, using PYTORCH methods → leveraging Google Colab's GPU resources. Evaluating the model's performance on various NLP tasks. Fine-tuning model parameters based on evaluation results. Hyper-parameter optiimization is a very specialized skill in ML Model Engineering. Building a web interface using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Integrating the trained model with the web interface using Flask or a similar framework for Python. Deployment and Iteration: Deploying the application on a cloud platform: For the sake of our class project here: Your way of submitting your project is to provide to me the Share LINK to your Google Collab Notebook → And make an Editor of the Notebook. Gathering user feedback and iterating on the model and application based on this feedback. Documentation and Presentation: Documenting the entire process, challenges, and learnings. Preparing a presentation to showcase their project, covering the technical aspects and the user experience. Diagrams and Illustrations. Learning Outcomes
Understanding the complexities and challenges of building a LLM AI: Both building the technology (Code Plus Compute), and the Project Management. Gaining practical experience in data preprocessing, model training, and application development. Learning to collaborate effectively in a diverse team with different skill sets. Developing problem-solving and project management skills. This case study gives students an insight into the real-world application of AI technologies and encourages them to approach their projects systematically and collaboratively. Creating a Google Colab notebook for Alice and her team involves setting up an environment with the necessary libraries and starter code for their Large Language Model (LLM) AI project. Here's a basic outline of what the notebook and resources might look like: Google Colab Notebook Setup
Click on New Notebook to create a fresh notebook. Install Required Libraries: In the first cell of the notebook, install PyTorch, TensorFlow, and any other required libraries. !pip install torch torchvision !pip install tensorflow In the next cell, import the installed libraries. import torch import tensorflow as tf Starter Code for Data Preprocessing: Include code snippets for basic data preprocessing. # Example code for data loading and preprocessing def load_data(filepath): # Code to load data from the filepath return data def preprocess_data(data): # Code to preprocess data return processed_data Starter code for setting up a basic model architecture. # Example PyTorch model setup class MyModel(torch.nn.Module): def __init__(self): super(MyModel, self).__init__() # Initialize model layers def forward(self, x): # Define forward pass return x Basic structure of a training loop. # Example training loop for epoch in range(num_epochs): for batch in data_loader: # Training steps Resource Citations
For in-depth understanding and advanced functionalities: TensorFlow Documentation: Comprehensive guide and API reference: Getting started with Google Colab: Original Transformer paper for understanding the architecture: Common datasets for NLP: Overview and tutorials: By utilizing these resources, Alice and her team can start with the basics and gradually expand their project. They should continuously refer to the documentation and resources for advanced functionalities and troubleshooting.
