Springing into AI - Part 3: Prompt Engineering

Image
      Communication forms an essential part of our daily existence. Often, when there is an interaction occurring between individuals, person A provides an input on a particular topic of interest varying in variety only to be absorbed and processed in person B's mind, who then provides a response to it. The quality of this communication is dependent on how well and the manner in which we articulate it, and this is no different to when as humans we interact with the Foundation Model that we learned of in Part 2  of the series. In the third part of the series, we will look at Prompt Engineering, and some fine tuning parameters that we can use to tweak the output of the result the model provides to us. Prompt Engineering          When we interact with the foundation model, we often interact with it in form of prompts . These prompts are merely a user's input presented to a pre-trained model that makes a best attempt to answer the prompt it recei...

Springing into AI - Part 2: Generative AI

 Ah yes, the wonderful world of Generative AI. We use this now in our daily life for wide range of applications each solving different use cases depending on the manner on how we choose to adopt it. In part 2 of the series we will look at some of the finer details of how this all actually works, and some factors to consider on choosing the foundation model for the job.        At the heart of generative AI, resides our best friend called Foundation Model . These are basically  Large Language Models (LLMs) that are pre-trained neural networks on information from wide range of sources, such as internet, publications, research materials, etc . In the ever growing rate race, there are wide variety of vendors each offering their own LLM that differ in it's performance, accuracy, predictability, size, number of input parameters, cost to name a few. Some of the examples are AWS offering Titan, Facebook Meta offering LLAMA, Anthropic offering Claude, Google offering...

Springing into AI - Part 1: 1000 feet overview

 Artificial Intelligence (AI)....We live in the world where technology trends adapts in one form or another through our needs as humanity evolves. However the field of AI isn't a recent discovery. It has existed for years and recently gained even more visibility through its offering aimed to make our lives easier, depending on how we adopt it.      The first part of the series will focus on providing a high level overview of sorts into the world of AI so we have clarity on its eco-system before we start to get our hands dirty with playground of how we can use it for our custom applications.   Ecosystem The eco system of Artificial Intelligence is composed of various sub-sections. Figure below should provide you a concise summary of its elements.   Let's have a summarized break down. Note: There exists plethora of material on web to dive into every topic, I won't be covering it all, as my grand children will have their children by the time I am done wri...
