What we’re about
The Toronto NLP, LLM, and Generative AI Meetup serves two purposes:
- To bring together a community of those how work in, or are interested in learning, about natural language processing (NLP), large language models (LLMs), and Generative AI (GenAI).
- As a space to find details on the workshops and events (free and paid) hosted as part of NLP from scratch.
You should join this group if you are interested in learning about natural language processing and LLMs, or if you are a practitioner in the space eager to discuss and connect with other professionals who work in the space.
I am always happy to connect with other like-minded professionals who are passionate about the AI space - if you have any questions, please feel free to message me directly or connect with me on LinkedIn.
