Language Model Project

Overview

This project aims to develop a language model (LLM) using modern natural language processing (NLP) techniques and deep learning architectures. The model will be trained to generate coherent and contextually relevant text based on input data. This README file outlines the skills and learning objectives associated with the project.

   • Understanding tokenization, word embeddings, and language modeling techniques.
   • Preprocessing text data and handling special tokens.

3. Machine Learning and Deep Learning Concepts

   • Familiarity with supervised and unsupervised learning principles.
   • Deep learning architectures including recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and transformers.

4. Model Training and Optimization

   • Training large-scale models efficiently using GPUs or TPUs.
   • Optimizing hyperparameters and learning rate schedules.

5. Data Handling and Preprocessing

   • Cleaning and augmenting text data for training.
   • Managing vocabulary and tokenization processes.

6. Evaluation and Model Interpretation

   • Implementing evaluation metrics such as perplexity and BLEU score.
   • Visualizing model attention and interpreting outputs.

7. Project Management and Documentation
