Calculating the # of
trainable parameters:
2 * 4 + 4 = 12
4 * 4 + 4 = 20
4 * 2 + 2= 10

= 42 trainable parameters

16. Pre-trained model
PRE-TRAINING & FINE-TUNING
Model is trained on a large, diverse dataset
to learn general patterns and features
before being fine-tuned for a specific task.
Fine-tuned model
Take a pre-trained model and further
training it on a smaller dataset or a dataset
specific to a particular task.
Freeze model parameters
Huge amount of
diverse/generic
data
Domain/task
specific data

17. MEDICAL USE-CASE
My stomach hurts.
Thank you for your query, if the pain
is in the upper part of the abdomen,
then it could be peptic ulcer disease
(PUD), or if it is on the right side ..... as
I haven’t seen your reports, and
kindly provide me with some more
details.
Sorry to hear that. Stomach pain
can have many causes, from
something you ate to more serious
medical conditions. If it's severe or
persistent, it's best to seek medical
attention. In the meantime, you
could try drinking some ginger tea
or peppermint tea, as they can
sometimes help soothe stomach
discomfort.

The affected jobs will be the ones
with repetitive tasks that can be
automated
• Translation • Customer service

I will utilize AI in my tasks
to help me be productive
in my job! 📈💪
