Abstract

This preprint presents a systematic, research-oriented practicum that guides the reader through the entire modern NLP pipeline: from tokenisation and vectorisation to fine-tuning of large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, and reinforcement learning from human feedback. Twelve hands-on sessions combine concise theory with detailed implementation plans, formalised evaluation metrics, and transparent assessment criteria. The work is not a conventional textbook: it is designed as a reproducible research artefact where every session requires publishing code, models, and reports in public repositories. All experiments are conducted on a single evolving corpus, and the work advocates open-weight models over commercial APIs, with special attention to the Hugging Face ecosystem. The material is enriched by original research on low-resource languages, incorporating linguistic resources for Tajik and Tatar (subword tokenisers, embeddings, lexical databases, and transliteration benchmarks), demonstrating how modern NLP can be adapted to data-scarce environments. Designed for senior undergraduates, graduate students, and practising developers seeking to implement, compare, and deploy methods from classical ML to state-of-the-art LLM-based systems.

Low-signal caution for protocol decisions

Use this page for context, then validate protocol choices against stronger HFEPX references before implementation decisions.

  • The available metadata is too thin to trust this as a primary source.
  • The abstract does not clearly describe the evaluation setup.
  • The abstract does not clearly name benchmarks or metrics.
