During March 2025, Shufan Yang enhanced the umnooob/course-demo repository by overhauling Lab 5 documentation and curriculum to cover Transformer models, BERT, and pre-trained language models, integrating updated navigation and GPU usage guidance. Yang also reconfigured Lab 4 to support full data utilization for training, refined experiment timing estimates, and provided clear instructions for GPU-based workflows. Leveraging Python, PyTorch, and YAML, Yang focused on improving documentation quality and maintainability while aligning the curriculum with current NLP and deep learning practices. The work demonstrated depth in both technical content and instructional design, streamlining onboarding and reducing setup complexity for learners.

March 2025: Delivered substantive NLP curriculum enhancements in umnooob/course-demo, notably Lab 5 Documentation and Curriculum Overhaul covering Transformer, BERT, and pre-trained language models, with updated navigation and GPU usage guidance. Also completed Lab 4 Configuration and GPU Usage Updates to enable full data usage for training, adjust experiment timing estimates, and provide GPU training guidance. These changes improve alignment with modern NLP practices, accelerate learner onboarding, and reduce setup overhead.
