Study Notes
Language Model Training
- Language models learn by predicting the next word in a sentence.
- The model uses a massive number of parameters, starting as random numbers and gradually being adjusted to make accurate predictions.
- The adjustments are made based on large amounts of text data, such as Wikipedia pages, news articles and code.
Understanding Words and their Contexts
- Language models can represent words with different vectors depending on their context.
- This allows for the differentiation between homonyms (words with two unrelated meanings) and polysemous words (words with two closely related meanings).
Internal Processing: The Transformer
- Transformers analyze words individually as the basic unit, enabling them to process large amounts of data efficiently.
- Each word is represented as a vector with a large number of dimensions (e.g., 12,288).
- The Transformer works in two steps: attention and feed-forward.
- The attention step uses "query vectors" for each word to find other contextually relevant words.
- The feed-forward step analyzes information gathered from the attention step and tries to predict the next word in the sequence.
Role of Attention and Feed-forward
- Attention heads retrieve information from earlier words in a prompt.
- Feed-forward layers allow language models to "remember" information not explicitly in the prompt. The feed-forward layers can be seen as a database of information learned from training data.
- Each layer encodes increasingly complex relationships, with earlier layers focusing on simpler facts and later layers storing more complex information.
Large Language Model Capacity
- The models used for applications like ChatGPT (GPT-3.5 and GPT-4) are significantly larger and more complex than previous models like GPT-2, allowing for more intricate reasoning.
- Fully explaining the inner workings of these advanced models is a monumental task, likely taking years of research.
Reasoning Within Language Models
- Despite their advanced capabilities, Language models do not actually reason.
- Their performance on reasoning tasks is based on patterns learned from the human-written text they are trained on.
- They do not have a concept of what is logical or illogical.
