A Topdown Look at ChatGPT

Presented by Conor O'Mahony

Join us for three Wednesday morning meetings in October and November 2023,
presented in conjunction with the Lexington Computer and Technology Group

Wednesdays October 18, 25, and November 1, 10:00am - 11:30am ET.
*Presented live in the Lexington Community Center and live online via Zoom.*
* These will be recorded for later viewing.*

One of the problems in trying to understand how ChatGPT works is that we
have all heard a variety of incomplete explanations and are left on our own
to figure out the missing pieces. This set of talks will step back and
introduce ChatGPT methodically by presenting a top-down look at ChatGPT.
The talks will attempt to show how several different mechanisms are
integrated together to yield the intelligent assistant we would all like to
have.
October 18: How to Interact with ChatGPT

   - Introduction to ChatGPT
   - Prompt Engineering: Presenting Results so that you feel like you are
   in a conversation

October 25: How Smart is ChatGPT?

   - Training ChatGPT
   - Reasoning, Understanding, and Consciousness

November 1: How LLMs Work

   - How LLMs, Large Language Models, work

If this email wasn't addressed to you and you would like to join the group,
or if you have a friend or colleague who might also be interested in
joining, it's easy.  Ask them to go to the group's wiki page at
http://LCTG.toku.us and follow the simple instructions under "Join the
Email List".  By being a member of the group you'll get reminders of
upcoming meetings and infrequent related messages. No advertising.  The
list is tightly managed.

Membership is free and given that all meetings are available on Zoom you
only need to be connected to the Internet to join. It's ok to join from
anywhere you can get a decent Internet connection.

   - We, the Lexington Computer and Technology Group, will meet Wednesday
   at the usual 10AM Eastern Time online, using the Zoom Video Conferencing
   Application, facilitated by Steve Isenberg. (If noted above, we may also be
   at the Lexington Community Center.)

There is an instruction page at https://toku.us/zoomish but note that the
URL and phone number shown are examples.



To join our online meeting, sometime after 9:45 AM on Wednesday, choose one
of the following options:

   - If you have the Zoom application installed, start it and join meeting
   with ID 972 6146 0830
   - From your browser, go to: https://zoom.us/j/97261460830
   - From your smartphone, tap this: +16468769923,,97261460830
   - From a “dumb” telephone, call 1 646 876 9923 and enter meeting ID: 972
   6146 0830


   - Once the connection is established, you may need to locate and use the
   on-screen controls that turn on the sound and the video. You should be able
   to see and hear others and they should be able to see and hear you, if you
   have a camera and microphone (each of which you can unmute selectively).
