1 Recurrent Neural
hour Language Models
1 Transformer-based Introduced in 2017 by Vaswani et al.,
hour Language Models Transformers have quickly become the
most popular architecture for neural
language modeling. They are the basis for
recent large language models, e.g., GPT-
3 and PaLM. This lecture gives the
definition of a Transformer and overviews
details, e.g., residual connections, layer
normalization, and position embeddings.
1 Neural Network Efficient Attention There is an ever-growing bag of tricks that
hour Modeling speed up the computation of the attention
mechanism in Transformer-based
language models. This lecture overview
those tricks and various generalizations of
the transformer, which are becoming
increasingly necessary to scale up
Transformer LMs on academic hardware.
We will also discuss multi-headed
attention, sparse attention, and
Transformer variants tailored for long
documents. Where possible, we prove
guarantees for the methods.

and Halliunination Language models are no different: we will
see how tampering with model inputs or
training data can lead to arbitrarily bad
outcomes. We will also discuss how
Security and
Misuse language models could be exploited for
nefarious purposes such as large-scale
spam campaigns. On the other hand,
language models could also prove useful
as a defensive tool, e.g., for automated
online content moderation or for dispelling
misinformation.

2 The Generative AI Life- So far, most of the course has been about

without the right data? We will discuss the
lifecycle of modern training sets for
language models, to understand how
Life Cycle design choices in the data collection and
maintenance process influence the
model’s “world view”. We will review
emerging guidelines and best practices
for managing and documenting machine
learning datasets across their lifetime.
