7 termsLanguage-model objective
Language-model objective is a language-model concept about mechanism and information flow. It names a mechanism, representation, training practice, or operational behavior that can change how an AI system processes input and produces output.
LLM fundamentalsLatent representation
Latent representation is a language-model concept about generation behavior and sampling. It names a mechanism, representation, prompting pattern, decoding control, or context behavior that can change how an AI system processes input and produces output.
LLM fundamentalsLayer normalization
Layer normalization is a language-model concept about evaluation design and failure analysis. It names a mechanism, representation, training practice, or operational behavior that can change how an AI system processes input and produces output.
LLM fundamentalsLearning rate schedule
Learning rate schedule is a language-model concept about evaluation design and failure analysis. It names a mechanism, representation, training practice, or operational behavior that can change how an AI system processes input and produces output.
LLM fundamentalsLength penalty
Length penalty is a language-model concept about representation and similarity. It names a mechanism, representation, prompting pattern, decoding control, or context behavior that can change how an AI system processes input and produces output.
LLM fundamentalsLLM inference
LLM inference is the process of running a trained language model on an input to produce an output. For a text-generating model, it typically involves processing the input context and generating additional tokens according to a decoding strategy.
LLM fundamentalsLogit lens
Logit lens is a language-model concept about mechanism and information flow. It names a mechanism, representation, training practice, or operational behavior that can change how an AI system processes input and produces output.
