Semanlink - Technical girls and guys ; Self-Attention AND LLM

> I was puzzled for a while as to why we need RL for LM training, rather than just using supervised instruct tuning. I now have a convincing argument, which is also reflected in a recent talk by @johnschulman2.

1st convincing argument:

> supervised learning allows only positive feedback (we show the model a series of questions and their correct answers) while **RL allows also for negative feedback** (the model is allowed to generate an answer an get a feedback saying "this is not correct")...if you as a learner are allowed to form your own hypotheses and ask the teacher if they are correct (as in the RL setting), even an adversarial teacher can no longer trick you into latching on to a wrong hypothesis.

2nd convincing argument is about knowledge-seeking queries

> we want to encourage the model to answer based on its internal knowledge, but we don't know what this internal knowledge contains. In supervised training, we present the model with a question and its correct answer, and train the model to replicate the provided answer... But if we are succeed in training the model to generalize in [the cases it doesn't know], then we essentially teaches the model to make stuff up! it actively encourages the model to "lie".

Some remarks on Large Language Models

Tags:

> There turned out to be a phase shift somewhere between 60B parameters and 175B parameters, that made language models super impressive.

> **The performance of current days language models are not obtained by language modeling**
>
>    - [Traditional] LMs are not [grounded](tag:grounded_language_learning)
> 
> **3 conceptual steps between GPT-3 and chatGPT: Instructions, code, RLHF.** The last one is, I think, the least interesting despite getting the most attention
>
> Instruction tuning: For example, the human annotators would write something like "please summarize this text", followed by some text they got, followed by a summary they produced of this text. -> Some symbols ("summarize", "translate", "formal") are used in a consistent way together with the concept/task they denote. And they always appear in the beginning of the text. -> the act of producing a summary grounded to the human concept of "summary"
>
> code: programming language code data, and specifically data that contains both natural language instructions or descriptions (in the form of code comments) and the corresponding programming language code. This produced another very direct form of grounding. the human language describes concepts (or intents), which are then realized in the form of the corresponding programs.
>
> "[RL with Human Feedback](tag:reinforcement_learning_from_human_feedback)". This is a fancy way of saying that the model now observes two humans in a conversation, one playing the role of a user, and another playing the role of "the AI", demonstrating how the AI should respond in different situations. This clearly helps the model learn how dialogs work, and how to keep track of information across dialog states (something that is very hard to learn from just "found" data).

Christopher Manning sur Twitter : "As the abilities of large pre-trained language models continue to rapidly improve, as seen in this week’s ChatGPT, I find it a rather implausible position to think that these models have no understanding of the meaning of texts."
