What's in a Model? The Inner Workings of LLMs

In this session, get a high-level overview of the science and technology behind GPT, DeepSeek and other large language models. We'll take a look at the history of deep learning and some of the concepts that have made recent leaps in artificial intelligence possible. We'll also see that understanding how these models are created offers insights into how to overcome some of their limitations for prospect research-based tasks. This is a technical talk (there is some high school math mentioned) presented for a non-technical audience.
