*Natural Language Processing acceleration: foundations and applications**
**Two complementary courses on Deep Learning and NLP*
January and February, 2023. San Sebastian, Spain
ONSITE ATTENDANCE ONLY
HANDS-ON, YOU LEARN TO IMPLEMENT THE MODELS
http://ixa.eus/NLPacceleration
Deep Learning neural network models have been successfully applied to
natural language processing, and are now changing radically how we
interact with machines (Siri, Alexa, machine translation or the Google
search engine). Large Language Models are at the core of these
developments, and are being used to crack "languages" in other
disciplines, ranging from programming languages (Copilot) to proteins
(AlphaFold) and gene sequences (GenSLM).
You can take either one or both courses:
Deep Learning for NLP <https://ixa.eus/dl4nlp> (January 9th to 27th,
35 hours, 14 evenings. 11th edition):
This course introduces in detail the machinery that makes Deep
Learning work for NLP, including the latest transformers and large
language models like GPT, BERT and T5. It also covers the use of
prompts for zero-shot and few-shot learning, as well as multimodal
text-image models like DALL-E. The course combines theoretical and
practical hands-on classes. Attendants will be able to understand the
internal working of the models, and implement them nearly from scratch
in Tensorflow. The aim is to allow attendees to acquire the ability to
understand, modify and apply current and future Deep Learning models
to NLP and other areas.
Introduction to LT Applications <https://ixa.eus/iltapp> (July 11th to
15th, 20 hours, 5 afternoons. 3rd edition):
This course introduces the main techniques to build applications, and
apply them to core Language Technology applications such us Opinion
Mining, Named Entity Recognition, Fake News Detection or Question
Answering. The course will have a practical focus, learning to use
readily available LT toolkits (Spacy, Flair, etc.). The aim is to
allow attendees to acquire the required autonomy to apply LT
technologies to target applications.
*Registration* has to be done for each course, see respective
websites. Note that you only need to pay the insurance for one of the
courses.
