대규모 언어 모델(LLM)

정의

A Large Language Model is fundamentally a sophisticated neural network (NN), typically based on the Transformer architecture, introduced in the influential paper "Attention Is All You Need". The "large" in LLM refers to the huge number of parameters—variables adjusted during training—that can range from billions to even trillions. Generally, a higher parameter count allows the model to learn more complex patterns from the data.

LLMs learn these patterns through unsupervised learning on massive text corpora gathered from the internet, books, and other sources, often referred to as Big Data. This process helps them grasp grammar, facts, reasoning abilities, and even nuances like tone and style, though it can also lead them to learn biases present in the training data. A core capability developed during training is predicting subsequent words in a sentence. This predictive ability forms the basis for more complex tasks like text generation, language modeling, and question answering.

Well-known examples include the GPT series from OpenAI (like GPT-4), Llama models from Meta AI such as Llama 3, Gemini from Google DeepMind, and Claude from Anthropic.

애플리케이션

LLM의 다용도성 덕분에 다양한 영역에 적용할 수 있습니다. 다음은 두 가지 구체적인 예입니다:

• Conversational AI: LLMs are the engines behind many advanced chatbots and virtual assistants. They enable these systems to understand user queries, maintain context over conversations, and generate natural-sounding responses. A prime example is OpenAI's ChatGPT, which uses LLMs to engage in detailed dialogues, answer follow-up questions, and even admit mistakes.
• Content Creation and Summarization: LLMs can assist humans in generating various forms of written content, including articles, emails, marketing copy, and creative writing. They are also adept at Text Summarization, condensing lengthy documents into concise overviews, which helps combat information overload. Tools like Jasper and Microsoft Copilot leverage LLMs for these purposes.

주요 개념

LLM을 이해하려면 몇 가지 관련 개념을 숙지해야 합니다:

• Foundation Models: LLMs are often considered foundation models because they are trained on broad data and can be adapted (or fine-tuned) for a wide range of downstream tasks without needing to be trained from scratch.
• Attention Mechanisms: Particularly self-attention, these mechanisms allow the model to weigh the importance of different words (tokens) in the input sequence when processing a particular word. This is crucial for understanding context and relationships within the text.
• Prompt Engineering: This refers to the art and science of designing effective input prompts to guide an LLM towards generating the desired output. The quality of the prompt significantly influences the accuracy and relevance of the response. Techniques like chain-of-thought prompting help improve reasoning in complex tasks.
• Tokenization: Before processing text, LLMs break it down into smaller units called tokens. These tokens can be words, subwords, or characters. Tokenization converts raw text into a numerical format the model can understand. Platforms like Hugging Face provide tools and information on different tokenization strategies.

LLMs vs. Computer Vision Models

While LLMs excel at language tasks, they differ significantly from models primarily designed for Computer Vision (CV). CV models, such as Ultralytics YOLO models (e.g., YOLOv8, YOLOv9, YOLOv10, and YOLO11), are specialized for interpreting visual information from images or videos. Their tasks include object detection, image classification, and instance segmentation.

However, the boundary is blurring with the rise of Multi-modal Models and Vision Language Models (VLMs). These models, like OpenAI's GPT-4o or Google's Gemini, integrate understanding across different modalities (e.g., text and images), enabling tasks like describing images or answering questions about visual content.

Platforms like Ultralytics HUB provide tools and infrastructure for training and deploying various AI models, including those for vision tasks, facilitating the development of diverse AI applications. As LLMs and other AI models become more powerful, considerations around AI Ethics, algorithmic bias, and data privacy become increasingly important.
