Course Description	The Seminar is central to activities at SFC where faculty members and students work together on a diversity of issues as a prelude to the Graduation Project. At SFC, students do not merely learn answers to given problems. Education at SFC aims to nurture and send out leaders of the future who are able to identify problems and create methods of resolving them. Through participation in such research, students work on real problems in society and gain a high level of expertise, and with this in hand, they embark on their Graduation Project that will be their "fruit of designing the future" as well as a personal proposal as they advance towards the future as individuals.

Course Summary

Anyone can carry out machine learning as long as they have data, thanks to various tools and libraries provided in recent several years. However, you cannot properly use the outputs of programs without knowing their meaning. It is necessary to understand the algorithms and theoretical basis of how the results were derived.
In this seminar, we are going to have a reading society of the book "Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch)" so that we can understand the structure of LLM by constructing it.
