This book is intended for college students, professionals, and practitioners in natural language processing and related fields, and can serve as a reference for anyone interested in large language models.
Abstract
This is a book about large language models. As indicated by the title, it primarily focuses on foundational concepts rather than comprehensive coverage of all cutting-edge technologies. The book is structured into six main chapters, each exploring a key area: pre-training, generative models, prompting, alignment, inference, and reasoning. It is intended for college students, professionals, and practitioners in natural language processing and related fields, and can serve as a reference for anyone interested in large language models.
This tutorial shows how to build a two-stage pipeline in which a multimodal large language model reads each page as an image and a second model turns the extracted text into structured JSON. We cover the choices that make such pipelines reliable and affordable, including structured outputs, parameter control, task deco...

It is proposed that programs are a strong candidate for universal representation of concepts and computational models of concept learning that use programs as their concept representation are reviewed.
A large language model (LLM) is an AI model (typically a neural network) trained on a vast amount of text for natural language processing tasks, especially language generation. LLMs can typically generate, summarize, translate, and analyze text in many contexts. They are the basis for many modern chatbots, such as Chat...

AI large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT can improve the efficiency of common language generation tasks performed by engineering professionals. In this session, we draw upon emerging academic research to suggest applications of LLMs in the field of industrial and systems engineering. Our demonstrations will showcas...
