Introduction to Large Language Models

Pretrained Language Models

Pretrained language models have gained a lot of attention in recent years for their ability to perform a wide range of natural language processing tasks. These models are trained on massive amounts of text data and are able to learn the underlying patterns in language.

Types of Pretrained Language Models

Pretrained language models come in different forms, such as:

  • Recurrent neural networks (RNNs)
  • Convolutional neural networks (CNNs)
  • Transformer-based models

One of the most popular pretrained language models is the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model. BERT is a transformer-based model that was pre-trained on a massive amount of text data and is able to perform a wide range of natural language processing tasks such as sentiment analysis, question-answering, and text classification. BERT is considered one of the most accurate language models and has been used in many applications such as chatbots, recommendation systems, and search engines.

Another popular pretrained language model is the Generative Pre-trained Transformer 2 (GPT-2) model. GPT-2 is also a transformer-based model that was pre-trained on a large corpus of text data and is able to generate coherent and fluent text. GPT-2 has been used for applications such as text summarization, story writing, and language translation.

Pretrained language models have become an essential tool for natural language processing tasks. They have significantly improved the accuracy and performance of many applications and have opened up new possibilities for the field.
