An introduction to large language models for scientific research - a practical introduction to using models.
Table of Contents
This repository is a hands-on tutorial on how to use large language models for scientific research. It is designed as a reference source for our hands-on LLM workshop, but may be useful for others to get started with LLMs. To get started, follow the link and head to the website.
This project requires some prerequisites in terms of skill level: you should be proficient with Python, and some understanding of git would be helpful. A good indication of skill level would be: can you open VS Code (or some other editor) and create some kind of class with attributes and methods? If so, then you'll probably be fine with this workshop.
We also strongly recommend our full introductory course on LLMs, and the follow-on hands on course
