welcome
Dear Reader,
Thank you for purchasing the MEAP for Principles of Prompt Engineering In Practice. This book is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of prompt engineering, a rapidly evolving field that enables practitioners to harness the power of large language models (LLMs) for a wide range of applications.
To get the most out of this book, you should have a general understanding of computer usage and be familiar with the concept of artificial intelligence. Previous programming experience is beneficial but not required, as the book will guide you through the process of designing effective prompts and templates to elicit desired outputs from LLMs.
As the CTO of Vance, an artificial intelligence startup in the regulatory compliance space, and with over 6 years of industry experience, I have developed a deep passion for Artificial Intelligence. I have successfully applied techniques (including Large Language Models and Prompt Engineering) to create cutting-edge products, such as a real-time semantic segmentation system for ultrasound images, a thermal activity detection algorithm for monitoring elderly patients, and a machine translation platform capable of translating across 60+ languages.
