Title: Building and Accelerating LLMs and Generative AIs with NVIDIA
Speaker: Dr Johan Barthélemy from NVIDIA
Abstract
Generative AI has introduced a new era in computing that promises to revolutionize human-computer interaction. At the forefront of this technological marvel are large language models, which empower developers and researchers to recognize, summarize, translate, predict, assist users, and generate content using large datasets for a wide range of application (e.g. ai assistants, digital twins, healthcare, autonomous vehicles, robotics).
In this talk we will introduce the foundational concepts behind generative AI, illustrate recent developments and introduce the accelerated tools and platforms like NeMo and Omniverse providing researchers with the necessary resources to efficiently train and deploy their own generative AI solutions.
Bio
After a PhD in Applied Mathematics at the University of Namur (Belgium), Dr. Johan Barthélemy joined the SMART Infrastructure Facility of the University of Wollongong (Australia). At SMART, he was a Lecturer and the lead of the Digital Living Lab researching and developing AIoT solutions focusing on new applications of AI for smart cities and environmental monitoring in extreme conditions. Passionate about AI and how to accelerate research, he is now a Senior Developer Relations Manager in the Strategic Researcher Engagement team at NVIDIA, supporting scientists in their journey to build the next generation of AIs.
