Prompt Engineering and NLP

This three-day, hands-on course provides a comprehensive introduction to Prompt Engineering for working effectively with Generative AI and Large Language Models (LLMs). Participants learn both foundational and advanced prompting techniques, including integrating file inputs and outputs, performing data analysis, and applying modern prompt optimization strategies. The course covers current industry approaches such as Dynamic Few-Shot prompting, Self-Generated Chain of Thought, and Majority Vote Ensembling, with extensive labs and real-world use cases.

With more than 43 lectures and labs, this course is designed to help learners perform complex tasks using Generative AI without requiring direct access to an AI platform. All AI interactions are handled through the training provider, and while an OpenAI Plus subscription is not required, it is strongly recommended for extended practice.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Understand Large Language Models and how prompting influences their behavior
• Define prompts and prompt parameters such as tasks, inputs, outputs, constraints, and style
• Apply advanced prompting techniques to improve accuracy and consistency
• Integrate file inputs including text, images, spreadsheets, and audio
• Perform image analysis and image-based transformations using prompts
• Generate structured file outputs such as CSV and Excel files
• Use prompt engineering for data analytics, cleaning, and preparation
• Create data visualizations and perform correlation analysis using AI
• Conduct time series, text, and semantic analysis through prompting
• Apply Promptbase techniques, including Dynamic Few-Shot prompting
• Use Self-Generated Chain of Thought (COT) for improved reasoning
• Implement Majority Vote Ensembling to enhance result reliability
• Deploy AI-powered workflows through a hands-on class project
