Domain adaptation and fine-tuning for domain-specific LLMs: Abi Aryan

In this talk, we will talk about the different model adaptation methods from Prompt Engineering to RAGs to fine-tuning methods depending on the dataset and problem. We will also go into detail on some operational best practices for fine-tuning and how to evaluate them for specific business use-cases. Furthermore, we will conclude with a comparative framework, cost-benefit analysis benefits and tradeoffs of fine-tuning versus knowledge bases for improving the performance of large language models for a specific task.

Over the past seven years, my focus has been building machine learning systems for various applications including recommender systems, automated data labelling pipelines for both audio and video, audio-speech synthesis, forecasting and time-series analysis etc. In the past, I also attended Insight as a Data Science Fellow and was a Visiting Research Scholar at UCLA under Dr. Judea Pearl where I worked in AutoML, MultiAgent Systems and Emotion Recognition. I am also currently authoring LLMOps: Managing Large Language Models in Production book for O'Reilley Publications and an MLOps: Deploying ML models in production course for data scientists to learn fundamentals of data engineering and how to deploy machine learning models in production.
