Cracking The Code: Unpacking the Potential of Large Language Models
Immerse yourself in our exploration into language models (LMs), particularly of the larger variety – LMs are an advanced technology that processes text input to generate textual output. Today we will examine how its potential can be harnessed, as the latest research provides us the insights we need to navigate this complex realm of artificial intelligence.
Microsoft AI Product Leader and Founder of SpeakUp AI, TianchengXu, has been diving deep into this and revealed the multifaceted applications that these LMs offer in the absence of task-specific adjustments. They are trained on extensive, unlabelled text corpora but can then be directed using textual prompts to resolve specific problems – repurposing the pre-trained model for various applications.
Despite the promising nature of LMs, initial attempts to apply them to downstream tasks such as GPT and GPT-2 encountered challenges. But latest breakthroughs have contributed to the development of effective LMs, delivering significantly enhanced task-neutral performance.
A key discovery reveals that as they scale up, LMs become more sample-efficient and display a higher proficiency in task-neutral transfer to downstream applications. More so, the performance of large LMs displays predictable patterns relative to parameters such as model scale and training data volume. This culminated in GPT-3, a colossal LM with 175 billion parameters, outperforming predecessors and even current supervised deep learning approaches in certain domains.
