Thomas Capelle

ML Engineer @ Weights & Biases

Thomas Capelle is a dedicated Machine Learning Engineer at Weights and Biases, diligently working on the Growth Team. He takes on the responsibility of maintaining the liveliness and timeliness of the wandb/examples repository. His contributions also extend to constructing content on ML-OPS and the application of wandb to the industry, along with developing intriguing aspects of deep learning. Prior to his current role, Thomas used deep learning to resolve short-term forecasting challenges for solar energy at Steady Sun. His interdisciplinary background encompasses Urban Planning, Combinatorial Optimization, Transportation Economics, and Applied Math.

SUMMARY

Deep Dive on LLM Fine-tune In his session, Thomas focuses on understanding the ins and outs of fine-tuning LLMs. We all have a lot of questions during the fine-tuning process. How do you prepare your data? How much data do you need? Do you need to use a high-level API, or can you do this in PyTorch? During this talk, we will try to answer these questions. Thomas will share some tips and tricks on his journey in the LLM fine-tuning landscape. What worked and what did not, and hopefully, you will learn from his experience and the mistakes he made.

A Recipe for Training Large Language Models AI models have become orders of magnitude larger in the last few years. Training such large models presents new challenges, and has been mainly practiced in large companies. In this talk, we tackle best practices for training large models, from early prototype to production.

What The Kaggle 'LLM Science Exam' Competition Can Teach Us About LLMs This competition challenged participants to submit a model capable of answering science-related multiple-choice questions. In doing so it provided a fruitful environment for exploring most of the key techniques and approaches being applied today by anyone building with LLMs. In this talk, we look at some key lessons that this competition can teach us.

Do you really know what your model has learned? Leap Labs demonstrates how data-independent model evaluations represent a paradigm shift in the model development process. All through our dashboard’s beautiful Weights & Biases Weave integration.
