There are 2 modules in this course

In this module, you’ll begin by defining instruction-tuning and its process. You’ll also gain insights into loading a dataset, generating text pipelines, and training arguments. Further, you’ll delve into reward modeling, where you’ll preprocess the dataset and apply low-rank adaptation (LoRA) configuration. You’ll also learn to quantify quality responses, guide model optimization, and incorporate reward preferences. You’ll also describe reward trainer, an advanced training technique to train a model, and reward model loss using Hugging Face. The labs, in this module will allow practice on instruction-tuning and reward models.

In this module, you’ll describe the applications of large language models (LLMs) to generate policies and probabilities for generating responses based on the input text. You’ll also gain insights into the relationship between the policy and the language model as a function of omega to generate possible responses. Further, this module will demonstrate how to calculate rewards using human feedback incorporating reward function, train response samples, and evaluate agent’s performance. You’ll also define the scoring function for sentiment analysis using PPO with Hugging Face. You’ll also explain the PPO configuration class for specific models and learning rate for PPO training and how the PPO trainer processes the query samples to optimize the chatbot’s policies to get high-quality responses. This module delves into direct preference optimization (DPO) concepts to provide optimal solutions for the generated queries based on human preferences more directly and efficiently using Hugging Face. The labs in this module provide hands-on practice on human feedback and DPO. Methods like PPO and reinforcement learning are quite involved and could be considered subjects of study on their own. While we have provided some references for those interested, you are not expected to understand them in depth for this course
