Fine-Tuning Language Models
for Creative Impact

In this hands-on workshop, we will introduce you to the powerful technique of fine-tuning, which allows you to adapt general purpose AI models to your own goals. After understanding the necessary theory behind fine-tuning, you will practice by preparing the dataset and then fine-tuning a summarization model to create headlines for news articles. 

Looking forward to seeing you! (¬‿¬)
