ChatGPT Transforms into an Intergalactic Tour Guide in the Sequel: Part 2
In a fascinating exploration of language models, we delve into the world of ChatGPT, likening it to a game-like entity due to its virtual world-like characteristics. This tour guide fluent in complex data structures leads us through the GPT universe, much like navigating an 8x8x8 walled garden in Minecraft.
ChatGPT, and similar language models (LLMs), use transformer-based models to encode text into dense vectors with thousands of dimensions. Each dimension corresponds to learned semantic features, allowing the capture of intricate language patterns and relationships in a mathematically efficient form.
The process begins with tokenization, breaking down the input text into smaller units. These tokens are then converted into numeric representations and fed into a transformer model with multi-head attention layers. The model transforms the input through nonlinear mappings, capturing semantic patterns, and finally outputs a single vector with thousands of dimensions representing the entire input’s semantic "fingerprint."
The rich representation provided by these embeddings allows for capturing nuanced semantic relationships in complex data such as long texts or multilingual content. For example, OpenAI’s produces vectors of dimension 3,072, configurable to balance detail and resource needs.
To better understand these high-dimensional embeddings, we can use dimensional reduction techniques, such as the first three embeddings given by OpenAI, which can be used for simple dimensional reduction. The numbers from the first three embeddings for each word and phrase are treated as x, y, z coordinates, and a 3D graph was created to represent these embeddings.
Words like "horse", "hammer", "apple", "lemon", "cinnamon", "given to teachers", "pie crust", "hangs from a branch", and "crushed ice" were plotted on this graph, and their locations make intuitive sense. In a three-dimensional context, including intelligence, GPT may be somewhere between a horse and a hammer.
This experiment underscores the power of ChatGPT's embeddings, acting as location coordinates in a virtual world, specifically in Minecraft. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, describes ChatGPT as a tool, not a creature. Yet, in this high-dimensional Minecraft garden, it serves as our tour guide, discerning the intent of a prompt and navigating through thousands of dimensions to lead us to the right spot in the GPT universe.
