Large Language Models, Just the Essentials!

This is a course covering the GitHub notebooks and bonus content from <Build a Large Language Model from Scratch> (Gilbut, 2025). GitHub: https://github.com/rickiepark/llm-from-scratch/ <Build a Large Language Model from Scratch> is the Korean translation of the bestseller <Build a Large Language Model (from Scratch)> (Manning, 2024) by Sebastian Raschka. This book provides a way to learn and utilize the operating principles of large language models by building a complete model starting from scratch with OpenAI's GPT-2 model.

This is a lecture covering machine learning theory and practical examples based on <Machine Learning, Just the Essentials!> (Insight, 2025).

The ultimate machine learning and deep learning tutorial that teaches you like a 1:1 private lesson with Hanbit Media's Honkong series, understand with hundreds of hand drawings, and practice right away with just a browser through Google Colab

Wake up your sleeping coding brain. From Python basics to machine learning, all in one book! This book is an introductory computer science book based on MIT lectures, so even beginners who know nothing about programming can easily read it. Wake up your sleeping coding brain with topics essential for introductory programming, such as computational thinking and simple algorithms. Through brain-boosting problems provided in each chapter, we will look at practical topics such as data visualization, simulation, data calculation techniques, and machine learning.

This lecture guides readers to deep learning with the most appropriate pace and straight direction, one step from concept to formula and one step from coding. In addition, there are over 100 graphs, illustrations, and diagrams, so you can easily and quickly accept abstract concepts. Another unique feature of this lecture is that you can start practicing right away by simply accessing a web browser without installing a program. After comfortably understanding the theory, you can directly code and conquer four representative deep learning problems with your eyes, so it is not lacking as a textbook for deep learning. The concepts or terms that you must go over are reviewed twice in the ‘Wait! Let’s move on to the next’ corner in the middle of the text and the ‘Memory Card’ corner at the end of the chapter to increase the learning effect. Let’s quickly overcome deep learning head-on with ‘Do it! Introduction to Deep Learning.’

This lecture covers the contents of the Amazon bestseller <Hands-on Machine Learning 2nd Edition>. Using the representative machine learning library, scikit-learn, you will learn various machine learning algorithms and evaluation methods. Also, using the most famous deep learning libraries, TensorFlow and Keras, you will learn theories and practices from artificial neural networks to reinforcement learning. This lecture is not yet complete. One to two lectures will continue to be added every week.

It explains the fundamental principles of large language models like ChatGPT, focusing on theory.

We understand why Attention was needed and how it works by 'implementing it directly with code'. This lecture starts from the structural limitations of RNN and Seq2Seq models, experimentally verifies the information bottleneck problem and long-term dependency issues created by fixed context vectors, and naturally explains how Attention emerged to solve these limitations. Rather than simply introducing concepts, we directly confirm RNN's structural limitations and Seq2Seq's information bottleneck problems through experiments, and implement **Bahdanau Attention (additive attention)** and **Luong Attention (dot-product attention)** one by one to clearly understand their differences. Each attention mechanism forms Query–Key–Value relationships in what way, has what mathematical and intuitive differences in the weight calculation process, and why it inevitably led to later models naturally connects to their characteristics and evolutionary flow. We learn how Attention views sentences and words, and how each word receives importance weighting to integrate information in a form where formula → intuition → code → experiment are connected as one. This lecture is a process of building 'foundational strength' to properly understand Transformers, helping you deeply understand why the concept of Attention was revolutionary, and why all subsequent state-of-the-art NLP models (Transformer, BERT, GPT, etc.) adopt Attention as a core component. This lecture is optimized for learners who want to embody the flow from RNN → Seq2Seq → Attention not through concepts but through code and experiments.

You use ChatGPT, but haven't you found it difficult to explain why it gives certain answers? "I know terms like RAG, Agents, and Fine-tuning... but it's hard to explain them accurately." "I get tongue-tied whenever I hear LLM-related terminology." "Conceptual explanations are always vague during AI meetings." This course was created specifically for people like you. This is a theoretical course designed to help you understand LLMs not just as a 'tool,' but as a 'structure.' It doesn't teach you how to use ChatGPT or Gemini; instead, it establishes the foundation so you can explain exactly why they work the way they do.

The era of AI simply providing answers is over. Now is the age of LLM Agents that make decisions and take actions on their own. This course is an introductory lecture where you learn the core principles and structure of agents by implementing them yourself in just 90 minutes of hands-on practice. With minimal complex theory and a code-focused practical flow, you can directly experience "how AI makes decisions and uses tools." Beyond prompt engineering, let's take the first step into AI automation together.

This course is not just about "how to implement" a Transformer, but about dissecting why this architecture was created, what role each module plays, and how the entire model works from the designer's perspective. We deeply analyze the internal computation principles of Self-Attention and Multi-Head Attention, and directly verify through formulas, papers, and implementation code what limitations Positional Encoding, Feed-Forward Networks, and Encoder·Decoder structures were introduced to solve. Starting from Attention, we assemble the entire Transformer structure ourselves, and actually perform training to experience firsthand how the model operates. This course is the most structured and practical roadmap for "anyone who wants to completely understand Transformers."

This course covers the entire process of evolving ChatGPT from a simple conversational AI into an intelligent AI Agent that performs real-world tasks. By utilizing the three core frameworks—LangChain, LangGraph, and LangSmith—you will build AI Agents that can be used immediately in practice.

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) from theory to the latest multimodal and agent-based RAG! This is a hands-on lecture designed to be understandable even for non-majors. From paper reviews to practical code implementation, it's designed so that even those encountering RAG for the first time can easily follow along.

LLM and Agent, the fundamental technologies behind AI like ChatGPT. LLM is currently the technology that has come closest to AGI. In this lecture, we will explore LLM and Agent technologies from a layperson's perspective.

Let's explore the types of applications or web services that can be built using LLMs.

We explore how to create an AI judge by combining knowledge graphs, reasoning systems, and various agent frameworks such as CrewAI, LangChain, and AutoGen, which enable the implementation of LLM-based multi-agent technology.

You will build Android/iOS apps based on simple machine learning models and learn the fundamentals of machine learning, model conversion using TFLite, and the process of implementing Android and iOS applications.

This course starts with the question "If I had been on the Titanic, could I have survived?" and completes a full-stack project that develops an AI model to predict survival probability based on actual data and serves it as a web service. You'll practice the entire process of AI and web development, from deep learning modeling using PyTorch, building a backend server with FastAPI, to implementing a user interface with Next.js.
