Large language models (LLMs)
In addition to the pillar skills we have reviewed so far, it's increasingly important for data science and analytics professionals to keep up with the latest AI technologies, such as Large Language Models or LLMs, because they can automate many of the mundane aspects of data science tasks. Machine learning has been revolutionized by deep learning, processing, which leverages neural networks that mimic the human brain. Large Language Models, or LLMs, are a massive-scale application of deep learning. LLMs focus on Natural Language Processing, or NLP, and are just one application of neural networks, which also include computer vision, speech recognition, and medical diagnostics. Natural language in NLP refers to the languages we humans use, such as English. LLMs use a specific architecture called the transformer, and their training goal is to predict what comes next given a sequence of tokens that make up a conversation or lines of code. Transformers allow AI systems to process the…
