NLU-11: Week 8

This week we have our last lecture on translation.

There will a tutorial on ethics this week. Please prepare answers to the followoing questions before your tutorial group meets:

Tutorial 3: Ethics in NLP

As a reminder, Coursework 2 has been issued and is due on Friday 22 March at 12:00 noon.

Also, the lab for next week has been released. This is a lab on prompting with GPT-3.5. It even includes a small competition on who can develop the best performing prompt on a small data set! Please note you will need an OpenAI key to run this lab; please obtain this before you attend your lab session, instructions can be found in the lab itself.

Lab 4: Prompting with GPT-3.5

Finally, the solutions for last week's lab on tensor computation and PyTorch are now available:
