About this event
Join us for our 55th Machine Learning Study Group meeting!
During the second half we will walk through a more advanced ML topic.
The first half will be devoted to helping people start and continue their journey to a Machine Learning engineer.
Whether you're a complete beginner or experienced practitioner, you're welcome to join. We'll review fundamentals and build from there. During the Zoom session, you'll have the opportunity to share your own ML/AI projects.
What we've done over the past year:
- First\, we learned to run Llama 2 locally using Ollama
- Then\, we expanded to cloud platforms\, running models on Colab and other services (we may demonstrate this again on Colab and Kaggle)
We have demonstrated RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)locally and in Google Colab.
Next we demonstrated fine-tuning on a cloud platform.
We examined LM Studio and vLLM
We also worked with agents and writing an LLM from scratch.
Building another RAG system.
Converting huggingface gguf files to the ollama format.
Come learn together in a supportive environment where no question is too basic!
