What is Teacher Forcing?

Teacher forcing is a training technique for language models where the model is fed the correct next word at each step, instead of its own prediction. This helps the model learn the correct sequence of words, even if it makes mistakes.

How does a language model learn during training?

At each token (word) position, the language model looks at the correct words that came before it and calculates how likely it is to predict the next word in the sequence. It then adjusts its parameters to improve its ability to predict that next word.

Study Notes

Introduction to Large Language Models

  • Large Language Models (LLMs) are similar to basic n-gram language models, assigning probabilities to word sequences.
  • They generate text by sampling possible next words.
  • LLMs are trained on vast amounts of text data to learn to predict the next word in a sequence.
  • Decoder-only models predict words left to right
  • Encoder-decoder models map from one sequence to another (used in translation, speech recognition)

Encoder Models

  • Popular examples are Masked Language Models (MLMs) and the BERT family.
  • Trained to predict words from surrounding words on both sides.
  • Often fine-tuned for classification tasks, trained on supervised data.

Large Language Models: Tasks

  • Many tasks can be transformed into word prediction tasks, such as sentiment analysis and answering questions.
  • The model considers the input and predicts the next word accordingly.

Pretraining LLMs

  • The core idea is: pretraining a transformer model on massive text data and then applying it to new tasks.
  • Self-supervised training is used to predict the next word in a sequence.
  • Loss is often cross entropy loss.
  • Teacher Forcing: at each step the correct word is used as the next token, rather than the model's guess.

Pretraining Data

  • LLMs are often trained using web data (Common Crawl, C4 corpus) and filtered data.
  • The Pile (a pretraining corpus) includes data from various sources (Wikipedia, books, and academic papers).
  • Filtering for quality and safety is also crucial, including the removal of boilerplate, adult content, and removing duplicates on various levels.

Evaluation of LLMs

  • Perplexity is a metric for assessing how well an LLM predicts unseen text.
  • It's related to the inverse probability of the model generating the test set, normalized by the length.
  • Perplexity is sensitive to length and tokenization; thus, it is best used when comparing LLMs that use the same tokenizer.
  • Many other evaluation metrics need to take into consideration factors like size, energy usage, and potential harms.

Harms of LLMs

  • Hallucination: LLMs can generate false or misleading information.
  • Copyright infringement: LLMs trained on copyrighted materials may lead to legal issues.
  • Privacy concerns: LLMs might leak private data through the training data.
  • Toxicity and abuse: LLMs can be trained on harmful content, which can lead to harmful outputs.
  • Misinformation: LLMs may generate false or misleading information, particularly about sensitive topics.
