ITS Introductory Lecture Date : 31 October 2024 (Thursday) Time: 10:00am - 12:00nn Venue: WLB103, 1/F, The Wing Lung Bank Building for Business Studies Lecture Title: Deep Neural Networks and Large Language Model: History, Development, and Application Speaker: Dr. Jing MA, Assistant Professor, Department of Computer Science Abstract: In recent years, Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) and Large Language Models (LLMs) have significantly advanced the field of Natural Language Processing. This talk explores the history, development, and applications of these transformative technologies, with a special focus on the era before and after the emerging of LLMs. The 1990s and early 2000s saw the emergence of DNNs, while powerful, were primarily task-specific and limited by their architecture and available data. A watershed moment starts with pre-trained models like OpenAI's GPT and Google's BERT. LLMs are more versatile than earlier neural network models by understanding and generating human-like language.
