Dear Learners,

We hope you are enjoying the course. As part of the curriculum, we are following the textbook “Introduction to Large Language Models” by Prof. Tanmoy Chakraborty, particularly from Week 4 onwards. You can get your copy of the book here. 

The course structure closely aligns with the chapters of this book. Reading the relevant sections alongside the lectures will enhance your understanding of the concepts covered. Additionally, the book explores advanced topics beyond the scope of the lectures and includes supplementary reading materials and practice exercises.

We highly recommend referring to the corresponding chapters after each lecture to reinforce your learning and get a good grasp on the subject.

Happy Learning!
