Why Large Language Models are important in AI
In 2020, OpenAI released a Large Language Model (LLM) called GPT3 which has a billion parameters. With a minimal and intuitive user interface which was released to go with GPT3, it caught the imagination and attention of AI communities and researchers all over the world.
One by one, the domain use cases such as co-pilots for coding, creative AI, and other downstream tasks were shown to be fast-tracked by GenerativeAI models and LLMs. As such, there is a wide-ranging interest in large language models and applications around them for various domains and use cases in the AI space. Experiments which aim to find optimal hyperparameters, and those dealing with underfitting and overfitting models are being carried out regularly; more and more barriers are being broken down every day.
The Fifth Elephant 2023 Winter edition will cover topics on the research, engineering, and business aspects of AI, exploring the practical implementation and economic implications of these systems.
Themes
The winter edition of The Fifth Elephant will showcase talks, discussions and demos across generative and multimodal AI, and other classic AI/ML/DL applications on the below themes.
AI engineering Track
Share approaches and case studies covering the following use cases:
- Products and platforms using LLMs, GenerativeAI, ML, and Deep Learning techniques, and business formulation around AI engineering.
- Conversational AI and search, automatic speech recognition, healthcare, e-commerce, fintech, media and OTT, and other verticals.
- Multilingual needs in India in digital products/platforms - features discussions, models training, finetuning, RLHF, RAGs, quantization techniques, dataset curation and augmentations, challenges faced in pipelines, evaluation metrics, future roadmaps, applications such as multilingual voice bots using ASR/STT, text to speech for accessibility.
Data Science operations track
Share case studies and experiential talks on handling the operations for data science such as scaling challenges and fine-tuning challenges, and lessons learned, and best practices for incorporating ethics, safety, and bias.
Demo track
Show demos on features/products which leverage AI and LLM-based APIs and models. It can be from creative AI, generative AI space, and various verticals with relevant use cases.

Unlocking the Power of Action Event Data: A Cross-Industry Perspective
Submitted Sep 20, 2023
Abstract
Optimizing action events, like purchases and bookings, is the cornerstone for boosting revenue across diverse domains. While the industry has often focused on interest and desire data, such as clicks and impressions, neglecting the critical dimension of action data, in the context of ML modelling, to drive success. Our research at Glance, a leader in personalized content delivery to 200M+ smartphone users, transcends this paradigm. By harnessing action event data, we have witnessed substantial improvements in various facets, underscoring the broader significance of this approach. This paper explores our journey and insights into the pivotal role of prioritizing action events and their impact beyond the realm of advertising, extending to diverse industries.
Key Takeaways
