| Amy Hemmeter | Amy Hemmeter is a Sr. Manager of Data Science in Natural Language Processing at Workhuman. She has over 5 years of experience in industry in NLP as a Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, Manager and Lecturer. She has worked on projects ranging from Conversational AI to Information Retrieval to Generative AI. She received her MSA from the Institute for Advanced Analytics at North Carolina State University in 2018, where she has also taught an annual workshop on Natural Language Processing since 2020. As someone who transitioned into data science and NLP from a linguistics background (an MA she also earned at NCSU in 2016), she cares deeply about translating complex topics in data science into information that students from all backgrounds can understand, as well as making that information relevant and practical to students who wish to make a career in industry. |
In this virtual course with live instruction you’ll learn about Artificial Intelligence (AI), starting with foundational concepts in machine learning and deep learning, then moving to the basics of Natural Language Processing and Computer Vision that got us to our current boom in Generative AI as demonstrated by GPT-3, DALL-E and other well-known tools. Learn how to train your own AI models, how to make the most of open-source and pre-trained models on the market, and how to stay ahead of the curve on technical improvements.
We'll address the following concepts:
