In this session, you’ll learn about the science behind language models like ChatGPT, including its structure, components, and training procedure. We’ll also explore several useful applications of ChatGPT, and how to use this powerful tool to our advantage.

ChatGPT is a large language model created by OpenAI that uses artificial neural networks (ANN) to understand and generate human-like text. It has been trained on massive amounts of data, enabling it to respond to various tasks such as language translation, summarization, question-answering models, and textual content creation.

Dr Mahdi Maktabdar Oghaz obtained his PhD in Computer Science from University Technology Malaysia (UTM) in 2016. His primary research focus during his doctoral studies was computer vision and machine learning in specific accurate skin detection for medical applications.

Right after his PhD, Mahdi started his career as a postdoctoral researcher at UTM, working on a research project sponsored by Cyber Security Malaysia and the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia, aimed at promoting safety and security in cyberspace using artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques.
