ChatGPT Explained From Scratch An Intuitive Technical Understanding of AI Chatbots



AI Summary

Summary of the Video: Understanding ChatGPT

Introduction

  • ChatGPT is one of the fastest-growing applications, reaching around 100 million active users in just 2 months.
  • The video aims to provide a foundational understanding of how ChatGPT works.

Key Concepts

Large Language Models (LLMs)

  • LLMs are machine learning models with a large number of parameters, often implemented through Deep Neural Networks.
  • GPT (Generative Pre-Trained Transformer) is a specific type of LLM.

Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF)

  • RLHF involves using human feedback to fine-tune the model for better performance.

Historical Context

  • Early attempts to model language using grammatical rules were unsuccessful.
  • Statistical NLP in the late ’90s and early 2000s aimed to predict the next word based on preceding words.

Language Model Development

  • Models needed to consider a larger context for accurate predictions. Simple models like unigram or bigram fail as they lack long-term dependency recognition.
  • Higher-order models (like n-grams) increase computational complexity.

Neural Networks

  • The introduction of neural networks allowed more complex representations of language.
  • Features of data can be automatically extracted to make predictions.

Word Representation Techniques

  • One-Hot Encoding: High-dimensional and inefficient for large vocabularies.
  • Word2Vec Embeddings: Low-dimensional representations (around 300 dimensions).

Transformers and Attention Mechanism

  • Introduced in 2017 by Google, attention allows the model to consider the context of words for better predictions.
  • Positional Encoding: Added to word embeddings to retain word order sensitivity.

The Transformer Block

  • Consists of self-attention, layer normalization, and feedforward layers.
  • GPT-3 has 96 layers and 175 billion parameters, processing up to 2048 tokens at a time.

From GPT to ChatGPT

  1. Fine-Tuning: Supervised learning on a human-created dataset to generate expected outputs.
  2. Human Feedback: Outputs are rated by humans to train a rewards model that predicts output quality.
  3. Reinforcement Learning: The fine-tuned GPT model’s parameters are updated based on rewards from the rewards model.

Conclusion

  • Understanding ChatGPT involves grasping the underlying technology of LLMs and reinforcement learning. The landscape of AI is rapidly evolving, and this information may soon be outdated.
