Textual Intelligence

The book is a must-have resource for anyone looking to understand the complexities of generative AI, offering comprehensive insights into LLMs, effective training strategies, and practical applications. Textual Intelligence: Large Language Models and Their Real-World Applications provides an overview of generative AI and its multifaceted applications, as well as the significance and potential of Large Language Models (LLMs), including GPT and LLaMA. It addresses the generative AI project lifecycle, challenges in existing data architectures, proposed use case planning and scope definition, model deployment, and application integration. Training LLMs, data requirements for effective LLM training, pre-training and fine-tuning processes, and navigating computational resources and infrastructure are also discussed. The volume delves into in-context learning and prompt engineering, offering strategies for crafting effective prompts, techniques for controlling model behavior and output quality, and best practices for prompt engineering. Textual Intelligence: Large Language Models and Their Real-World Applications also discusses cost optimization strategies for LLM training, aligning models to human values, optimizing model architectures, the power of transfer learning and fine-tuning, instruction fine-tuning for precision, and parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) with adapters such as LoRA, QLoRA, and soft prompts, making it an essential guide for both beginners and industry veterans. Readers will find this book: Explores the real-world potential of large language models; Introduces industry-changing AI solutions; Provides advanced insights on AI and its models. Audience Industry professionals, academics, graduate students, and researchers seeking real-world solutions using generative AI.
