Introduction to AI and Language Models
A fictional scenario demonstrates how an AI assistant can complete dialogue.
The concept of a large language model is introduced as a mechanism predicting subsequent words.
Mechanics of Word Prediction
Large language models assign probabilities to multiple potential next words rather than making a definite prediction.
The model is designed to output natural responses by selecting words randomly, increasing variability in responses.
Training Large Language Models
Language models are trained on a vast amount of text data, taking over 2600 years of continuous reading for a human to consume equivalent data.
Training involves adjusting parameters based on the difference between predicted and actual outcomes using backpropagation.
Pre-Training vs. Fine-Tuning
Pre-training focuses on autocomplete tasks using large datasets, while reinforcement learning with human feedback fine-tunes the model for better user interactions.
The process requires powerful GPUs for parallel processing due to the immense amount of computations involved.
The Transformer Architecture
Introduced in 2017, transformers process text in parallel rather than sequentially, which optimizes efficiency.
The attention mechanism in transformers allows word representations to interact and refine meanings based on context.
Emergence and Predictive Modeling
The emergent behavior of models based on vast parameter tuning makes prediction outcomes complex and somewhat unpredictable.
Final predictions from the model are based on the integrations of context and training experiences.
