The advent of large language models (LLM) has replaced complex scripts with natural language for automating various tasks. You can now use LLM to interact with your databases using natural language, which makes life easier for people who do not have sufficient SQL knowledge. In this article, you will learn …

In my [previous articles](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/computer-science/tutorials/541732/paris-olympics-ticket-information-chatbot-with-memory-using-langchain), I explained how to develop customized chatbots using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) approach in [LangChain](https://www.langchain.com/). However, I used proprietary models such as OpenAI, which can be expensive when you try to scale. In this article, I will show you how to use the open-source and free-of-cost …

In previous articles, I explained how to use natural language to interact with [PDF documents](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/computer-science/tutorials/541732/paris-olympics-ticket-information-chatbot-with-memory-using-langchain) and [SQL databases](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/computer-science/tutorials/541771/using-natural-language-to-query-sql-databases-with-python-langchain-module), using the Python [LangChain module](https://python.langchain.com/docs/get_started/introduction) and [OpenAI API](https://openai.com/blog/openai-api). In this article, you will learn how to use LangChain and OpenAI API to create a question-answering application that allows you to retrieve information …

In my previous article, I explained how I developed a simple chatbot using LangChain and Chat-GPT that can answer queries related to Paris Olympics ticket prices. However, one major drawback with that chatbot is that it can only generate a single response based on user queries. It can not answer …

I was searching for Paris Olympics ticket prices for tennis games recently. The official website directs you to a [PDF document](https://tickets.paris2024.org/obj/media/FR-Paris2024/ticket-prices.pdf) containing ticket prices and venues for all the games. However, I found the PDF document to be very hard to navigate. To make things easier, I developed a chatbot …

On March 4, 2024, [Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com/) launched the [Claude 3 family of large language models](https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-3-family). Anthropic claimed that its Claude 3 Opus model outperforms GPT-4 on various benchmarks. Intrigued by Anthropic's claim, I performed a simple test to compare the performances of Claude 3 Opus, [Google Gemini Pro](https://deepmind.google/technologies/gemini/#introduction), and [OpenAI's GPT-4](https://openai.com/research/gpt-4) …

In the rapidly evolving field of Natural Language Processing (NLP), open-source large language models (LLMs) are becoming increasingly popular as they are free to use. Among these, the [Mistral](https://docs.mistral.ai/models/) family of models stands out as a state-of-the-art model that is freely accessible to the public. Comparable in performance to the …

In a previous article, I explained [how to fine-tune Google's Gemma model for text classification](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/computer-science/tutorials/541544/fine-tuning-google-gemma-model-for-text-classification-in-python). In this article, I will explain how you can improve performance of a pretrained large language model (LLM) using retrieval augmented generation (RAG) technique. So, let's begin without ado. ## What is Retrieval Augmented Generation …

On February 21, 2024, Google released [Gemma](https://ai.google.dev/gemma), a family of state-of-the-art open-source large language models (LLMs). As per initial results, its 7b (seven billion parameter) version is known to perform better than Meta's [Llama 2](https://llama.meta.com/), the previous state-of-the-art open-source LLM. As always, my first test with any new open-source LLM …

In my previous article, I explained [how to convert PDF image to CSV using Multimodal Google Gemini Pro](https://www.daniweb.com/programming/computer-science/tutorials/541365/converting-pdf-image-to-csv-using-multimodal-google-gemini-pro). To do so, I wrote a Python script that passes text command to [Google Gemino Pro](https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-gemini-ai/) for extracting tables from PDF images and storing them in a CSV file. In this article, …

In this article, you will learn to use [Google Gemini Pro](https://blog.google/technology/ai/google-gemini-ai/), a state-of-the-art multimodal generative model, to extract information from PDF and convert it to CSV files. You will use a simple text prompt to tell Google Gemini Pro about the information you want to extract. This is a valuable …

**OpenAI admits that ChatGPT has become less efficient. Can version 4.5 defeat the current slump and lead us to the edge of AGI?**  Last week, the AI community was stirred by a [leak](https://bgr.com/tech/chatgpts-gpt-4-5-update-might-have-just-leaked-heres-what-we-know/) suggesting the soon-to-be release of ChatGPT 4.5. Sam Altman later [revealed the leak to be fake](https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenAI/comments/18ip82l/gpt45_leak_is_fake_according_to_sam_altman/). …

As a researcher, I have often found myself buried under a mountain of research articles, each promising insights and breakthroughs crucial for my work. The sheer volume of information is overwhelming, and the time it takes to extract the relevant data can be daunting. However, extracting meaningful information from research …

Language modeling is the cornerstone of advanced natural language processing, forming the backbone for cutting-edge technologies like ChatGPT. At its core, it involves predicting words based on context, a fundamental principle underlying modern large language Models (LLMs). There are various techniques for language modeling, with attention mechanisms emerging as the …
