Large Language Model (LLM)

CS 224V Conversational Virtual Assistants with Deep Learning Stanford University Fall 2022 This course focuses on the creation of effective, personalized, conversational assistants using large language neural models. It involves both theory and practical assignments, offering students a chance to design their own open-ended course project. Familiarity with NLP and task-oriented agents is beneficial. Computers will transform into effective, personalized, conversational assistants for everybody, including the pre-literate and the non-literate. Commercial chatbots today are notoriously brittle as they are hardcoded to handle a few possible choices of user inputs. Recently introduced large language neural models, such as GPT-3, are remarkably fluent, but they are often erroneous and prone to hallucinations. This course studies how we can tame these neural models into robust, trustworthy, and cost-effective conversational agents across all industries and languages.

Students will learn both the theory and practice with **two assignments**, and a **major open-ended course project** of their own design.

Topics include:

- Formal, executable meaning representation for conversational virtual assistants
- Contextual neural semantic parser for translating dialogues into a formal representation.
- Automatic generation of training data for dialogues from high-level schema and API specification with large language models.
- Using large language models in virtual assistants.
- Multilingual, mixed-initiative, multimodal assistants.
- Federated privacy-protecting assistants.
