For me, these slides are capturing a bit of a journey though my own learning over time, getting first involvement with generative models as well as traditional NLP during my PhD studies building an automated conflict event retrieval pipeline. The intellectual journey is captured in these sets of slides that I hope other people may find useful. The slides also contain broader commentary over geopolitics, etc.
