Relationships between distant words

A software company has been able to handle more complex customer queries since adopting the transformer architecture for its AI chatbot. One of the main reasons is the ability to process long-range dependencies.

Consider the sentence:

"Alice, a talented graphic designer based in London, enjoys attending concerts featuring her favorite bands in the city."

Which aspect of transformer architecture helps the chatbot understand the relationship between "Alice" and "enjoys attending concerts"?

The AI landscape is evolving rapidly, and Large Language Models (LLMs) are at the forefront of this evolution. This chapter examines how LLMs are advancing the development of human-like artificial intelligence and transforming industries through their numerous applications. You will explore the challenges and complexity associated with language modeling.

Exercise 1: The rise of LLMs in the AI landscape Exercise 2: Definition of an LLM Exercise 3: LLMs in the AI landscape Exercise 4: AI vs. LLM applications Exercise 5: Real-world applications Exercise 6: Business applications Exercise 7: Multimodal applications Exercise 8: Automate data-driven tasks Exercise 9: Challenges of language modeling Exercise 10: What can a language model do?Exercise 11: Single vs. multi-task learning

This chapter emphasizes the novelty of LLMs and their emergent capabilities while outlining various NLP techniques for data preparation. You will learn the challenges of training LLMs and how fine-tuning can effectively address them. You will also understand how N-shot learning techniques enable efficient adaptation of pre-trained models when faced with limited labeled data.

Exercise 1: Novelty of LLMs Exercise 2: Problem solving with LLMs Exercise 3: Traditional models vs. LLMs Exercise 4: Generalized overview of NLP Exercise 5: Data preparation Exercise 6: Text preprocessing and representation Exercise 7: Word embeddings over bag-of-words Exercise 8: Fine-tuning Exercise 9: Challenges in building LLMs Exercise 10: Adapt a pre-trained model Exercise 11: Pre-trained or fine-tuned?Exercise 12: Learning techniques Exercise 13: Fine-tune a model Exercise 14: N-shot learning

In this chapter, you will learn about the fundamental building blocks of training an LLM, such as pre-training techniques. You'll also gain an intuitive understanding of complex concepts like transformer architecture, including the attention mechanism. The chapter discusses an advanced fine-tuning technique and summarizes the training process to complete an LLM.
