You should have a working understanding of machine learning concepts and some exposure to AI or NLP workflows before starting.

Coding experience is useful but not required to follow the evaluation frameworks taught.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"dt-acc-item-v7\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the difference between BLEU, ROUGE, HELM, and F1 in LLM evaluation \u003cspan class=\"dt-acc-toggle\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dt-acc-content\"\u003eThese metrics measure different aspects of model performance. BLEU and ROUGE are n-gram overlap metrics used primarily for text generation and summarization tasks. F1 is a precision-recall balance metric commonly used for classification and information extraction. HELM is a holistic benchmark framework that evaluates LLMs across multiple dimensions simultaneously, including accuracy, robustness, fairness, and efficiency. This training teaches you when to use each metric and how to interpret the results in context.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"dt-acc-item-v7\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat do LLM trade-offs mean in practice and why do they matter \u003cspan class=\"dt-acc-toggle\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dt-acc-content\"\u003eIn practice, trade-offs mean that improving one dimension of an LLM's performance often degrades another. A larger model may score higher on accuracy benchmarks but cost significantly more to run and introduce higher latency in production. A smaller fine-tuned model may be faster and cheaper but underperform on out-of-domain inputs. This training gives you a structured way to quantify these trade-offs and make defensible decisions based on your specific use case and infrastructure constraints.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"dt-acc-item-v7\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs the exam voucher included and how do I register for the exam \u003cspan class=\"dt-acc-toggle\"\u003e+\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dt-acc-content\"\u003eThe exam voucher is not included in this training.
