NLP. Disambiguation: Not neurolinguistic programming, a discredited therapy, whereby one reprograms themselves, in a sense, to change their ill behaviours.
No, this one is about processing text. Sequence to sequence. Big models. Transformers. Just wondering now, if we need it. I saw an ad of some sort, for ‘Tagalog‘ and thought it was something about the Filipino language, but it was a product for NLP shops, for stuff like OCR, labelling, annotating, stuff. For mining text, basically.
Natural language processing is fascinating stuff, but probably out of the scope of this project. GPT-3 is the big one, and I think Google just released a network an order of magnitude bigger?
Here’s a bit of oddly dystopian exclusivity news, of Microsoft to exclusively license the GPT-3 language model. Amazing.
“Google’s new trillion-parameter AI language model is almost 6 times bigger than GPT-3”, so GPT-3 is old news anyway. I watched some interviews with the AI, and it’s very plucky. I can see why Elon is worried.
I don’t think we’ll need it for chickens.
