Cascade STEAM Data Engineering Community Group

Details

Join the Cascade STEAM Data Engineering Community Group on June 25th from 6:00pm-7:30pm at Bellingham Makerspace. Our topic this month is "Prompt Engineering" led by co-organizer Ryan Christensen.

The focus will be on prompt classification, chain of thought reinforcement, role playing, one-shot vs few-shot comparison, prompt templates and prompt dictionaries. In this discussion, we'd like folks to bring their laptops and together we can discuss some prompt challenges we have in our current workplaces. Accuracy and adherence to output specification is a tricky problem.

As always, the goal of these meetings is to encourage participation and collaboration. Most of our time will be devoted to open discussions and Q&A sessions.

Feel free to post general questions to the #data-engineering channel on the Cascade STEAM Community Hub (Discord).

Our Meeting this month is in collaboration with the Bellingham Tableau User Group (BTUG)! We ask that you also RSVP in the Tableau User Group System, which will provide you awareness for future BTUG events and provides support for this meeting and future meetings. Thank you.
