DESCRIPTION: Our latest APUG session at our new premises at The Soap Factor
 y\, 111 Gallowgate\, Aberdeen. \n\n "Digital Delusions and the Dirty Littl
 e Secret of LLMs." -Tim Clarke \n\n Ever wondered why LLMs confidently spo
 ut fabrications as fact? Uncover the "dirty little secret" behind managing
  these digital delusions. Diving into the why from tokenization to trainin
 g data. Then\, explore practical techniques like RAG and semantic search t
 o bring accuracy back to the forefront. Finally we will build a Streamlit-
 based semantic search tool to give you an introduction to the hands on exp
 erience of serving up the truth to your LLM. \n\n Bio: Tim is driven by a 
 passion for harnessing cutting-edge technologies to bridge the gap between
  humans and machines\, transforming the way we understand\, interpret\, an
 d interact with information. Holding an MA in Religious Anthropology and a
 n MSc in Data Science\, Tim has had a diverse career\, initially working i
 nternationally in the Energy Sector before shifting his focus to tech\, sp
 ecifically Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Knowledge Graph technique
 s. In his current role at Katoni Engineering he looks at implementing digi
 tal technologies to empower the workforce. \n\n After the talk we will hav
 e one or more challenges for you to attempt - so bring your laptop!  \n\n 
 If you don’t already have Python set up\, we can help you with that too.
  Coding in pairs or small groups (especially mixing beginner and more expe
 riences coders) is strongly encouraged\, though you can also code solo. \n
 \n ---------------------- \n\n  \nThis is our first session in our new pre
 mises\, which is still a work in progress. That means that our disability 
 access is not what we want it to be. If you are uncomfortable\, or unable 
 to use stairs\, please book an online ticket for the Zoom session. We are 
 working to improve this but it will take a few months. \n\n This event is 
 orgnanised by a charity - Code The City. We suggest a small donation to he
 lp with charity admin costs\, but if this is a barrier please just change 
 the ticket price to what you can afford. \n\n We're now back to running ph
 ysical events backed up with an online option. \n\n If you select a physic
 al ticket and it happens that we can not meet physically you will have to 
 attend the Zoom session. \n\n Those attending the physical space meetup sh
 ould attend at 6pm for pizza and drinks. The coding session (for online at
 tendees) will be from 6.30pm. Doors will be locked from 6.30pm. \n\n **If 
 tickets are sold out please do not attend as you will be refused entry wit
 hout a ticket. ** \n\n Our booking system is provided by Tito. Their platf
 orm is integrated with payment processing by Stripe \n
