Agenda for Generative AI focused 127th DevClub.lv

• Antons Mislēvičs from C.T.Co will give a talk on “So you want to be a Machine Learning engineer in the age of Generative AI and Large Language Models?“.
  ChatGPT was released in the end of 2022 and immediately grasped a lot of attention. People started discussing what “magical” things it can do, how it is the first AI that “understands” our world, and that soon it will leave many people without their jobs. It quickly went even to extremes, that such technology is dangerous, and should be banned or controlled by governments. In this session we will analyze what of this is hype and what is real. We will look into what the technology behind ChatGPT is (Large Language Models, Generative AI), and how such AI models are being trained. This will help us to better understand what such models can do, what are some common problems, and what you should be aware of when introducing such models in your projects. In addition, we plan to discuss what the raise of Generative AI and Large Language Models means for Machine Learning engineers – what are the core challenges, and some foundational technologies/concepts you should be familiar with.
  (Language – English)
  Tags: : Generative AI, Large Language Models, Machine Learning, ML Engineering
  
  Antons is a Head of AI / Machine Learning at C.T.Co. Before joining C.T.Co he spent 10 years working as a technical consultant at Microsoft Consulting Services.

Antons holds a PhD degree in Engineering of Computer Systems and is a regular speaker at conferences and community events.

• Antons Kranga from EPAM will talk about “Building conversational language agents with Autogen.”
  Autogen is an open-source tool that empowers AI engineers to build multi-agent conversations, enabling group chats using LLM-backed agents, a user and tools to solve specific problems. Many researchers believe this is the next frontier of applications beyond RAG. Join us if you’re interested in learning about the current state of COALA agents, along with their advantages and limitations.
  (Language – English)
  Tags: AI, LLM, RAG, Autogen, CoALA agents
  
  Antons has over 20 years of experience in Engineering: maintaining open sources, and helping global businesses deploy their infrastructure more efficiently.

• Dmitry Balabka from Intexsys will share his experience in “Fine-tuning Large Language Models“,
  focusing on the hands-on process of preparing datasets and fine-tuning models for a specific business task. This session will cover dataset preparation, model fine-tuning, and cloud ML accelerators like TPUs and related libraries. It’s aimed at those seeking hands-on knowledge in applying ML techniques.
  (Language – English)
  Tags: Machine Learning, Data Science, AI, Large Language Models
