- Purpose and learning objectives
This elective enables the student to apply local large language models (LLMs) and their APIs in software development. The goal is also to equip the student with the ability to use prompt engineering to achieve optimal output quality from a given LLM. The course covers fundamental theory in prompt engineering as well as practical application of LLMs.
KnowledgeThe student will gain knowledge of:
Skills
• Different types of LLMs and their areas of application
• Principles of prompt engineering and how prompts influence the output of an LLM
• Fundamental theory related to prompt engineeringThe student will be able to:
Competences
• Install and use local LLMs in software development
• Apply prompt engineering theory to improve LLM output
• Use tools and APIs to develop software integrated with LLMsThe student will learn to:
• Integrate LLMs into software development projects
• Critically evaluate and select appropriate LLMs for different types of development tasks
• Collaborate across disciplines to implement LLM-based solutions that meet user and organisational needs
• Stay up to date with new trends and developments within LLMs and apply this knowledge in practice - Type of instruction
there will be a overarching theme for the classes that is expected to be worked on together in groups. there will also be a group exams project.
