Improving Language Understanding by Generative Pretraining
Explore how GPT improves language understanding through generative pretraining using transformer decoders. Learn the process of tokenization, masked self-attention, and autoregressive prediction that enables GPT to generate coherent and human-like text, marking a shift from comprehension models like BERT to creative AI applications.
We'll cover the following...
We’ve reached a pivotal moment. BERT showed how an encoder-only model could revolutionize language understanding by reading text in both directions. But BERT was never built to create. Enter GPT, generative pre-trained transformer, a decoder-only model that flips the script. Instead of just understanding text, GPT predicts what comes next, turning transformers into storytellers and paving the way for modern generative AI.
What is GPT?
Introduced by OpenAI in the paper Improving Language Understanding by Generative Pre-Training, GPT was designed to harness the transformer decoder for text ...
