Improving Accuracy of LLM Applications
Join our new short course, Improving Accuracy of LLM Applications with Lamini and Meta. Learn from Sharon Zhou, Co-founder & CEO of Lamini, and Amit Sangani, Senior Director of Partner Engineering, Meta. Many developers have experienced frustration with inconsistent results when working with LLM applications. This course offers a systematic approach to enhance the accuracy and reliability of your LLM applications. You will build an SQL agent, add evaluation metrics to measure performance, and use prompt engineering and self-reflection to make the model perform better. Finally, you will fine-tune the model with techniques like LoRA and memory tuning that embeds facts in model weights to reduce hallucinations. In this course, you’ll use Llama’s family of open-source models. What you’ll do: 1. Build a text to SQL agent and simulate situations where it hallucinates to begin the evaluation process. 2. Build an evaluation framework to systematically measure performance, including criteria for good evaluations, best practices, and how to develop an evaluation score. 3. Learn how instruction fine-tuning enhances pre-trained LLMs to follow instructions, and how memory fine-tuning embeds facts to reduce hallucinations. 4. Break fine-tuning myths and see how Performance-Efficient Fine-tuning (PEFT) techniques like Low-Rank Adaptation(LoRA) reduce training time by 100x and Mixture of Memory Experts (MoME) reduces it even further. 5. Go through an iterative process of generating training data and fine-tuning, learning practical tips such as adding examples, generating variations, and filtering generated data to increase model accuracy. Start improving the accuracy of LLM applications today!

Terrorism and Counterterrorism: Comparing Theory and Practice
Delve into the research behind terrorism as you unpack the assumptions and impacts of both terrorism and counterterrorism. Terrorism has arguably been one of the defining factors of our age. It frequently makes headlines, threatening or attacking governments, private businesses, and ordinary citizens. In many parts of the world, it has been one of the most important threats to peace, security, and stability – but what does this mean exactly? On this six-week course from Leiden University, you’ll explore the essence of terrorism and discover why it is so difficult to define. Unpacking its history and the theory of the waves of terrorism, you’ll analyse both the theoretical approaches and practical applications of terrorism and counterterrorism in the real world. There are many assumptions that cloud the subjects of terrorism and counterterrorism. These myths are often created and intensified by individual bias, the government, and the media. On this course, you’ll discover different assumptions about terrorist identities and motivations, as well as the efficiencies of various counterterrorism efforts. You’ll then compare this with academic research to investigate the truth behind these assumptions. In your exploration of the impact of terrorism, you’ll delve into the culture of fear created by terrorism, as well as the success of counterterrorism policies to limit and manage its impact on society. In the final stage of this course, you’ll reflect on trends and developments in terrorism and counterterrorism. You’ll assess current academic research as well as what could be studied in the future to help.
