Understanding AI Language Models

Understanding AI Language Models

Language models are sophisticated AI systems designed to interpret and generate human language by predicting subsequent words based on context. Large Language Models (LLMs) leverage extensive training data to perform a wide array of language tasks, including text generation and summarization. Despite their capabilities, these models exhibit limitations such as the potential for inaccuracies and a lack of real-time understanding.

What we have learnt

  • A language model is an AI system that predicts the next word in a sequence.
  • Large Language Models like GPT are trained on vast datasets through processes like tokenization and reinforcement learning.
  • LLMs possess strengths such as generating coherent text but also face limitations, including the risk of fabricating facts.

Key Concepts

-- Language Model
An AI system trained to understand and generate human language by predicting the next word in a sequence.
-- Large Language Model (LLM)
Advanced models with billions of parameters capable of performing a variety of language-related tasks.
-- Tokenization
The process of breaking down text into smaller pieces (tokens) for model training.
-- Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF)
A training methodology that utilizes human feedback to improve the model's accuracy and safety.
-- Temperature and Topp Sampling
Sampling strategies used to control the randomness and variety of model outputs.
