Deep dives
Impact of LLMs on Data Science Workflows
The integration of large language models (LLMs) is significantly transforming data science workflows by introducing assistant capabilities like chatbots and AI copilots. These models are enhancing productivity and reducing data reliance through few-shot learning, which allows data scientists to perform tasks with minimal examples rather than extensive datasets. For instance, text classification tasks, such as identifying spam emails, can now be executed with just a few labeled examples instead of thousands. This shift suggests a broader trend towards leveraging advanced models that abstract away much of the traditional supervised learning processes.
