Train more powerful models with a single GPU. In this course, you will learn how hardware can speed up model training and the key considerations when training models on a GPU. First, you will learn how to estimate the number of computations and the amount of computer memory required to train large neural networks. You will then discover techniques for reducing the computing and memory requirements when training a model. Techniques which you will apply for fine-tuning a Gemma model with 4 billion parameters. Finally, you will consider the potential environmental impacts of machine learning, with a focus on where questions of energy, water, and e-waste intersect with justice and equity.
Unleash the power of language models with fine-tuning. In this course, you will learn how to adjust a pre-trained model to a specific task. You will start with full-parameter fine-tuning using a small language model. To tune larger models like Gemma, you will learn parameter-efficient techniques with a focus on LoRA. Finally, you will be briefly introduced to reinforcement learning as an alternative to supervised fine-tuning (SFT). You will also explore how AI is imagined and made sense of in cultural contexts. You will consider why responsible AI is not just about technical safety but also about building governance systems that reflect community values and protect the public interest.
In this Google DeepMind course you will discover the mechanisms of the transformer architecture. You will investigate how transformer language models process prompts to make context-sensitive next-token predictions. Through practical activities you will explore the attention mechanism, visualize attention weights, and encounter advanced concepts like masked attention and multi-head attention. You will also learn other techniques that are necessary to build neural networks that are well-suited to be used as language models. Finally, through activities on values, stakeholder mapping and community engagement, you will practice concrete tools for ensuring AI projects are developed with communities, not just for them.
In this Google DeepMind course you will focus on the training process for machine learning models. You will learn how to spot and mitigate issues when training a model, such as overfitting and underfitting. In practical coding labs, you will implement and evaluate the multilayer perceptron for simple classification tasks. This will provide insights into the mechanics of training a neural network model and the backpropagation algorithm. Research case studies will demonstrate how neural networks power real-world models. Additionally, you will consider the broader social impacts of innovation by looking beyond immediate benefits to anticipate potential risks, safety concerns, and further-reaching societal consequences.
In this Google DeepMind course you will learn how to prepare text data for language models to process. You will investigate the tools and techniques used to prepare, structure, and represent text data for language models, with a focus on tokenization and embeddings. You will be encouraged to think critically about the decisions behind data preparation, and what biases within the data may be introduced into models. You will analyze trade-offs, learn how to work with vectors and matrices, how meaning is represented in language models. Finally, you will practice designing a dataset ethically using the Data Cards process, ensuring transparency, accountability, and respect for community values in AI development.
In this Google DeepMind course, you will learn the fundamentals of language models and gain a high-level understanding of the machine learning development pipeline. You will consider the strengths and limitations of traditional n-gram models and advanced transformer models. Practical coding labs will enable you to develop insights into how machine learning models work and how they can be used to generate text and identify patterns in language. Through real-world case studies, you will build an understanding around how research engineers operate. Drawing on these insights you will identify problems that you wish to tackle in your own community and consider how to leverage the power of machine learning responsibly to address these problems within a global and local context.
