From October 1 - November 12, 2024, the ALCF will host a 7-part weekly virtual training series to teach undergraduates and graduates the fundamentals of using world-class supercomputers to advance the use of AI for research.


 

Intro to AI Series: Session 5

Trainees will learn about the nuanced craft of prompt engineering, exploring the roles of clarity, relevance, specificity, and the strategic balance between detail and conciseness when designing prompts for Large Language Models. Trainees will also learn about Research Augmented Generation (RAG), a method that enhances LLM performance by integrating external data through retrieval tools.
