SUMMARY:Basic workflows with local GenAI chatbots
DESCRIPTION:Generative AI in the form of large language models and their 
 chatbot interfaces has become something that we must live with and which 
 many people are interested in using. In addition to the spam\, slop and 
 disinformation\, there exist some compelling use-cases for these chatbots 
 in the service of targeted tasks: for example\, providing advice on the 
 naturalness of a sentence in your second language or extracting information 
 from large number of PDFs which vary in their formatting.\n\nIn this 
 workshop participants will learn:\nHow to access resources that deal with 
 the many questions around the use and safety of large language models\nHow 
 to choose between and understand the purpose of various models\nHow to 
 setup a local LLM (run on your own computer\, no connection to the 
 internet\, lower risk)\nHow to provide instructions to guide the behavior 
 of a model\nHow to manage different models and custom chatbots\nHow to add 
 to the background knowledge of a model using retrieval augmented generation 
 (RAG)\nWhat can be done to improve model performance on specific tasks 
 (fine-tuning)\n\nParticipants should bring a laptop to which they have 
 administrative or root access for the purpose of installing 
 software!\n\nUsers with access to the gROW learning environment can find 
 more information about workshops and courses offered by the Radboud Digital 
 Competence Centre here.
