Yesterday I took part in
Ben Swift's "
LLMs Unplugged: A tech-free guide to understanding (and teaching) AI" at the Australian National University's College of Systems & Society. The workshop is aimed at school teachers and earns the attendee professional development points. But this would be useful for anyone who wants to understand how Large Learning Models (LLMs) work. I have a technical computing background, so much of this is familiar to me, but this clear fun overview was still very useful.
Ben took us through several exercises using children's story books. The advantage of this is that the source material has a limited vocabulary & repetitive patterns, making analysis easy, and fun. But the exercise could be carried out using government policy documents, or military reports.
The next workshops are 16 September & 25 November.
