Skills Acquired: Python Programming Regression Feature Engineering Classification Unsupervised Learning and Association Rule Mining Text Mining Deep Learning and Artificial Neural Network Capstone Project: Personalized Health Adviser Chatbot. The objective was to take a quantized model from Hugging Face and build a chatbot on top of our own data set and knowledge base. Resources Utilised: Quantized version of Llama 2 model, Llama-2-7B-Chat-GGML. CTransformers to load the model which allowed us to run in local CPU. Sentence transformer, MiniLM-L6-v2 from HuggingFaceEmbeddings to create the embeddings and FAISS DB vector store to allow to store the embeddings in a lower dimensional space. Data preprocessing was implemented through Langchain, it does the heavy lifting through loaders, splitters etc. Once the data is preprocessed, it was passed through an embedding model, in this case using sentence transformers. Once the embeddings are created and stored in FAISS DB vector space, the prompt will go through FAISS DB with the help of Langchain library to the LLM-which in turn will give a relevant response.
