LLM Foundations Lab

This afternoon activity features a selection of Google Colab notebooks exploring character-based language modeling and neural network classification, scaffolded for classroom adaptation.

Name Generation (Language Modeling)

• Character Language Model (Table Method)
• Character Language Model (Gradient Descent)

Iris Flower Classification (Neural Networks)

A sequence of labs starting with softmax regression and moving toward a multi-layer neural network with non-linear nodes:

• Lab 3.1: Softmax Regression
• Lab 3.2: Stacking Linear Layers
• Lab 3.3: Adding Non-Linearity
• Lab 3.4: Full Neural Network with Einsum
