Overview

ChatGPT is a language model developed by OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence research organization. It is based on the transformer architecture, which has revolutionized the field of natural language processing. This model has been trained on a massive amount of data, allowing it to generate text and respond to various prompts with human-like precision and accuracy.

ChatGPT is based on Transformer architecture. It is a neural network architecture for processing sequential data, such as text. It was introduced in the 2017 paper “Attention is All You Need”. The Transformer architecture is based on self-attention mechanisms, which allow the model to weigh the importance of different parts of the input sequence when making predictions.

The following is a detailed explanation of the Transformer architecture:

From “Attention is all you need” paper by Vaswani, et al., 2017 [1]

1. Input Sequence (Inputs): The input sequence is a sequence of tokens (e.g., words or sub-words) that represent the text input.
2. Input Embedding: The first step in transformation is to convert the input sequence into a matrix of vectors, where each vector represents a token in the sequence. This process is called input embedding. The input embedding layer maps each token to a high-dimensional vector that captures the semantic meaning of the token.
3. Self-Attention Mechanism: The self-attention mechanism allows the model to compute relationships between different parts of the input sequence. It consists of three steps: query, key, and value computations, and attention computation. In the query, key, and value computations, the input vectors are transformed into three different representations using linear transformations. In the attention computation step, the model computes a weighted sum of the values, where the weights are based on the similarity between the query and key representations. The weighted sum represents the output of the self-attention mechanism for each position in the sequence.
4. Multi-Head Self-Attention: The Transformer architecture uses multi-head self-attention, which allows the model to focus on different parts of the input sequence and compute relationships between them in parallel. In each head, the query, key, and value computations are performed with different linear transformations, and the outputs are concatenated and transformed into a new representation.
5. Feedforward Network: The output of the multi-head self-attention mechanism is fed into a feedforward network, which consists of a series of fully connected layers and activation functions. The feedforward network transforms the representation into the final output.
6. Layer Normalization (Add & Norm Layer): The activations in each layer of the Transformer architecture are normalized using layer normalization, which helps stabilize the training process and prevent the model from overfitting. A residual connection followed by layer normalization, which helps to stabilize the training process and make the model easier to train.
7. Positional Encoding: To capture the order of the tokens in the input sequence, a positional encoding is added to the input embedding. The positional encoding is a vector that represents the position of each token in the sequence.
8. Stacking Layers: The Transformer architecture can be stacked to form a deep neural network by repeating the multi-head self-attention mechanism and feedforward network multiple times.
9. Output: The final output from the Transformer, which is a vector representation of the input sequence.

Embeddings are numerical representations of concepts converted to number sequences, which make it easy for computers to understand the relationships between those concepts. Since the initial launch of the OpenAI /embeddings endpoint, many applications have incorporated embeddings to personalize, recommend, and search content.

Language model meta-learning (From “Attention is all you need” paper by Vaswani, et al., 2017 [1])

During unsupervised pre-training, a language model develops a broad set of skills and pattern recognition abilities. It then uses these abilities at inference time to rapidly adapt to or recognize the desired task. The term “in-context learning” to describe the inner loop of this process, which occurs within the forward-pass upon each sequence. The sequences in this diagram are not intended to be representative of the data a model would see during pre-training but are intended to show that there are sometimes repeated sub-tasks embedded within a single sequence.

From “Attention is all you need” paper by Vaswani, et al., 2017 [1]

Larger models make increasingly efficient use of in-context information. In-context learning performance on a simple task requiring the model to remove random symbols from a word, both with and without a natural language task description. The steeper “in-context learning curves” for large models demonstrate improved ability.

Unlike traditional NLP models that rely on hand-crafted rules and manually labeled data, ChatGPT uses a neural network architecture and unsupervised learning to generate responses. This means that it can learn to generate responses without needing to be explicitly told what the correct response is, which makes it a powerful tool for handling a wide range of conversational tasks.

The model is trained using Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), using the same methods as InstructGPT, but with slight differences in the data collection setup. Initially model is trained using supervised fine-tuning: human AI trainers provided conversations in which they played both sides — the user and an AI assistant. Trainers then access to model-written suggestions to help them compose their responses. It then mixed this new dialogue dataset with the InstructGPT dataset, which transformed into a dialogue format as shown in below diagram.

Limitations

1. ChatGPT sometimes writes plausible sounding but incorrect or nonsensical answers. Fixing this issue is challenging, as: (1) during RL training, there’s currently no source of truth; (2) training the model to be more cautious causes it to decline questions that it can answer correctly; and (3) supervised training misleads the model because the ideal answer depends on what the model knows, rather than what the human demonstrator knows.
2. ChatGPT is sensitive to tweaks to the input phrasing or attempting the same prompt multiple times. For example, given one phrasing of a question, the model can claim to not know the answer, but given a slight rephrase, can answer correctly.
3. The model is often excessively verbose and overuses certain phrases, such as restating that it’s a language model trained by OpenAI. These issues arise from biases in the training data (trainers prefer longer answers that look more comprehensive) and well-known over-optimization issues.
4. Ideally, the model would ask clarifying questions when the user provided an ambiguous query. Instead, our current models usually guess what the user intended.
5. While OpenAI team made great efforts to make the model refuse inappropriate requests, it will sometimes respond to harmful instructions or exhibit biased behavior. OpenAI are using the Moderation API to warn or block certain types of unsafe content, but they expect it to have some false negatives and positives for now. They are eager to collect user feedback to aid ongoing work to improve this system.
