Part 8/13:
Natural Language Processing (NLP) & Generation: Tools for understanding (NLU), generating (NLG), and translating text. The foundation models like Stanford's large-scale pre-trained models and transformer architectures (e.g., BERT, GPT) form the backbone of modern language AI.
Transformers & Large Language Models (LLMs): Central to advances like chatbots, translation, summarization, and content creation, with models trained on vast amounts of data for transfer learning.
Data Generation and Model Training
A significant part of the session is dedicated to explaining how models generate new data, emphasizing the importance of estimating data distributions based on observed samples. The process involves:
