A sequence model is a class of machine learning models that processes, generates, or predicts ordered data where the position and surrounding context of each element carry meaning.
A sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) task is any machine learning problem in which a model receives a variable-length input sequence and produces a variable-length output sequence, where the input and output may…
A similarity measure (also called a similarity function or similarity metric) is a real-valued function that quantifies the degree of resemblance between two objects, returning a large value when the objects…
Speech recognition, usually called automatic speech recognition (ASR), is the computational task of converting a spoken-language signal into a sequence of written symbols.
Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) is supervised training applied to a model that has already been trained.
Temperature is a hyperparameter that controls the randomness of a large language model's output by scaling the model's raw scores, called logits
Text summarization is the natural language processing (NLP) task of automatically producing a shorter version of one or more documents that preserves the most important information from the original text.
The Pile is an 825.18 GiB (approximately 886 GB) English text corpus designed for training large language models, assembled from 22 diverse, high-quality subsets spanning academic, professional, internet…
A token is the basic unit of text that a language model reads and writes: a word, a subword fragment, a single character, or a byte, produced by splitting text during a step called tokenization.
Tokenization is the process of breaking text into smaller units called tokens, which serve as the fundamental input to natural language processing (NLP) systems and large language models (LLMs).
Top-p sampling, also called nucleus sampling, is a text-generation decoding method for large language models (LLMs) that, at each step, samples the next token from the smallest set of highest-probability…
Top-p sampling, also called nucleus sampling, is a stochastic decoding method for text generation in which the model samples from the smallest possible set of tokens whose cumulative probability mass exceeds a…
A topic model is a statistical model that discovers the abstract "topics" hidden in a collection of documents, where each document is represented as a mixture of a small number of latent topics and each topic…

TruthfulQA is a benchmark designed to measure whether large language models (LLMs) generate truthful answers to questions.
A word embedding is a learned representation of text in which words are mapped to dense vectors of real numbers in a continuous vector space, so that words with similar meanings are positioned close together.
