Description

Large Language Models (LLMs) have found their way into many applications. Still, they are often seen as toys to play around with, but hard to use in a productive environment, due to phenomena like hallucinations, bias and missing reproducibility. The current presentation is a short form of my lecture series ‘Einsatz von Sprachmodellen für das Studium der Festkörpermechanik’ for engineering students. The aim is to show examples for useful integration of LLMs into workflows, while avoiding hyped but not-yet-useful concepts. It is focused on providing an introduction to the field of Generative AI, Tokenzing & Embedding, Cognitive Architectures, and prompting strategies. In a seminar-style format, there will be time to try out different free chatbots and to discuss the outcomes, therefore it’s highly beneficial for the participants to bring their own laptop (or external keyboard for fast typing if a smartphone is the preferred platform).
