Learning Objectives

• Curate high-quality datasets and generate synthetic data using NVIDIA NeMo Curator.
• Rigorously evaluate LLM performance with benchmarks (MMLU), LLM-as-a-judge, and the NeMo Evaluator.
• Inject new domain-specific knowledge into LLMs using Continued Pretraining (CPT).
• Teach LLMs new skills and align them to specific tasks with Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT).
• Align model behavior to human preferences for style, tone, and safety using Direct Preference Optimization (DPO).
• Compress and optimize LLMs for efficient deployment using Quantization, Pruning, and Knowledge Distillation with TensorRT-LLM and NeMo.
• Apply end-to-end model customization workflows to solve real-world problems.
