The Center for Research Computing and Data is committed to our mission of training and education. We offer workshops presented by our research faculty consultant team as well as industry and academic experts covering a wide range of advanced computing topics and skills.
Our Next CRCD-hosted NVIDIA Workshop:
Domain-Adaptive Pre-Training: Tailoring LLMs for Specialized Applications
Wednesday Dec. 3, 2-4pm ET
Maximum Number of Attendees: 40
While Large Language Models (LLMs) are broadly capable, their general knowledge often falls short of the specialized, domain-specific information required for enterprise applications. This hands-on lab provides a focused, end-to-end approach for building domain-specific large language models. You'll learn how to curate domain-specific datasets, design and train custom tokenizers, and execute the pre-training process to tailor LLMs for specialized applications. You'll gain practical skills and knowledge necessary to adapt LLMs to your unique domain requirements and to real-world use cases. This course takes you on a practical journey from initial data preparation to a domain-adapted, fine-tuned model.
