A full day workshop introduction of OpenAI and ChatCPT.
Welcome to our OpenAI ChatGPT and reinforcement learning course! This course will provide you a thorough introduction to the fascinating topic of real-time human feedback (RLHF) and teach you how to use OpenAI tools like ChatGPT to tackle challenging issues. A dialogue-focused prototype artificial intelligence chatbot called ChatGPT was created by OpenAI. The chatbot is a substantial language model that has been improved using supervised and reinforcement learning methods. It is an improved version of a language model from the GPT-3.5 family by OpenAI.
Some of the highlights of this workshop:
* Learn How to Use OpenAI’s Software
* Installing and Managing Reinforcement Learning Software
* Understanding Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF)
* Understanding Concepts of Reinforcement Learning
* Using Reinforcement Learning to Solve a Variety of Problems
Students will explore examples of how to use reinforcement learning to solve problems in computer games and learn how to judge whether a task is best suited for reinforcement learning. You will graduate from this course with a firm understanding of Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and the know-how to begin solving your own reinforcement learning issues.
The possibilities are unlimited, so be ready to explore the fascinating world of Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) using OpenAI’s ChatGPT!

A full day immersive workshop on how to capture, edit and publish a 360 virtual reality short film. Work collaboratively and independently to create your own up to 3 minute short film.
This workshop does require some computer knowledge. Prior knowledge of VR or 360 filmmaking is a plus as this course is designed to not only teach the fundamentals of 360 video creation but also showcase some advanced techniques.
The aim of this workshop is to allow students to fully understand fully how multiple cameras in a 360 camera are linked to make a 360 virtual reality film which can be uploaded to Facebook or YouTube.
Some of the highlights of this workshop:
* Understanding how a VR Camera captures a 360 video or image using a method called “Stitching.”
* Advanced film making techniques – adjusting for light balance, movement and composition.
* Best methods to use camera stabilization with hardware Steadicam and software methods.
* Advanced knowledge of how to adjust a 360 camera for different lighting conditions. Using practical hidden lights and interview techniques.
* Getting good sound with wireless hidden mics and on-camera mics.
* 360 sound capture techniques.
* An overview on 360 camera resolutions and shutter speeds.
* How to a capture time-lapse 360 video.
* How to edit a 360 film once it is stitched.
* Choosing a perfect location for a 360 video and managing your environment and location.
* Multiple Using SD Cards to storage video files.
* Hands on knowledge on the latest 360 capture techniques
* How to transcode a video and upload it to Facebook and YouTube.
As with all our lesson plans, the prime focus of this workshop is on hand-on experience for “real-life” use from a veteran with over 10 years film and editing experience and 30+ years professional video creation and publishing expertise. The idea of this workshop is to NOT just learn the techniques but also understand the professional tactics which will save time and money in an actual work setting.
Every student will get a certificate of completion and each completed 360 video will be uploaded to our popular official IMPACTFest Global Facebook and YouTube channels with a chance for our international judges to see and be entered into our world-wide IMPACTFest conferences and internships.
