Using hugging face models with private company data?

It sounds like you have an interesting project idea for your internal hackathon involving training a Language Model (LLM) on user manual documents. I’ll provide some clarification on the tools you mentioned—Hugging Face, LLMs, Llama Index, and LangChain.

  • Overview: Hugging Face is a platform that provides a variety of natural language processing (NLP) resources, including pre-trained models, datasets, and tools for working with transformers.
  • Relevance: Hugging Face’s Transformers library offers easy access to pre-trained models, including those for language generation. It provides a wide range of pre-trained models, and you can fine-tune them on your specific task or data.

Considerations for Using LLMs with Private Data:

  • Privacy and Compliance: Ensure that your approach complies with privacy regulations and your company’s lead data enrichment handling policies.
  • Data Security: Evaluate tools like Llama Index or LangChain for secure interactions with models if you’re dealing with sensitive or private information.
  • Fine-tuning: If fine-tuning on private data is part of your plan, be cautious about potential information leakage from the training data.
