Title : Building transformer based models for natural language processing applications
Dr S. K. Lavanya
Assistant Professor, Anna University
Natural Language Processing, A.I, M.I
In my presentation, I will give an overview of how large language models (LLMs) based on Transformers can be used to edit, examine, and produce text-based data as well as how programmers can use these LLMs to build powerful NLP systems that allow for easy and natural human-computer interactions in chatbots, AI speech agents, and other applications. We will look at how BERT, a transformer-based LLM, has revolutionized NLP by producing results for question answering, entity recognition, intent recognition, sentiment analysis, and other tasks . We will go over how to use these models for different NLP tasks, like text classification, named entity recognition (NER), and answering questions.

Title: “Advancements in Tamil Computing: Shallow Parsing to Machine Translation”
Parameswari Krishnamurthy
Assistant Professor, IIIT-Hyderabad
Abstract: My talk provides a comprehensive overview of the evolving landscape of Tamil computing, spanning from the foundational concept of shallow parsing to cutting-edge developments in machine translation using different techniques spanning from Rule-based to Machine Learning approaches. Tamil, with its rich linguistic nuances and intricate morphology, presents unique challenges and opportunities in the realm of computational linguistics. Through this journey, we will explore how shallow parsing techniques have been instrumental in understanding and processing Tamil text, and then delve into the transformative potential of machine translation for bridging language barriers and promoting cross-cultural communication.
Title : Tamil Text Generation using GPT-3 Models
Dr. R.Ponnusamy
Professor, Dept of Computer Science and Engg
Chennai Institute of Technology
Tamil Text Generation using GPT-3 Models is a fascinating application of advanced natural language processing technology. GPT-3, a generative pre-trained transformer, has been trained on extensive Tamil language data, enabling it to generate coherent and contextually relevant Tamil text.The process begins with a user providing a prompt or input text in Tamil. GPT-3 leverages its understanding of the language’s grammar, vocabulary, and contextual cues to generate text that logically extends from the input. It’s capable of generating anything from short sentences to lengthy paragraphs, adapting its output to the provided context.What sets GPT-3 apart is its ability to produce human-like and creative text. It can answer questions, create engaging stories, compose articles, and even write code in Tamil, making it a versatile tool for content generation across various domains.
