AI education guru Andrew Ng has come up with a new course “Large Language Models with Semantic Search” in collaboration with Canadian AI startup Cohere. The free, short, beginner-friendly course will teach you to enhance keyword search using Cohere Rerank. Anyone with basic familiarity with Python can join the course.
Course Highlights
Unlocking Advanced Search Techniques: This course equips learners with the essential techniques to seamlessly incorporate LLMs into keyword search systems.
Dense Retrieval Unveiled: Explore the concept of dense retrieval, a potent NLP tool. By harnessing embeddings, the course elevates the relevance of search results, surpassing traditional keyword-based approaches.
Intelligent Reranking: Gain insights into the reranking process, which injects the intelligence of LLMs into search systems. This strategic integration enhances search efficiency and expedites response times.
Upon completing the course, participants will learn how to use fundamental principles of keyword search, establishing the foundation for search systems that precede the availability of advanced language models. They will apply an innovative reranking technique to transform keyword search, prioritising responses based on query relevance and thereby enhancing the overall search encounter. Participants will also harness the power of embeddings to enable more profound search outcomes through semantic understanding. Practical expertise will be gained through hands-on experience, addressing real-world obstacles with substantial data and refining accuracy in handling diverse search results. Additionally, attendees will master the seamless integration of language model-driven search functionalities into websites or projects, thereby enhancing user engagement and interactions.
Jay Alammar, Director and Engineering Fellow at Cohere and Luis Serrano, Lead of Developer Relations at Cohere are going to teach the course.
