02 / commitment

I will use this term in a very narrow sense of being able to generate new sentences that satisfy hard constraint syntactic rules that the child would never have heard before.

03 / belief

What we argue is very important to look at and that we could finally measure with LLMs or other architecture and we find consistent result is what is the entropy left after a sentence of N token.

04 / belief

I think maybe we need to do more introspection of how we function as scientists to come up with a good data set and the good procedures to teach machines to be good scientists.

05 / prediction

Are we doing the wrong thing? And I'm very interested in, you know, should we predict in token space at a very low level or more should we train machine to predict abstractions.

06 / evaluation

The reason why deep architecture cancels those tasks is precisely because they understand just like the physicists understood about pressure, velocity, field.

08 / prediction

I mean the only way you will extrapolate and have power to generalize is if you bring those points together, it means you have an exponentially larger number of data, you have more data than atoms in the universe.

My take is that those are more academic problems that you never encountered in in practice because sentences that loop for 50 times are extremely rare.

I will still say a word of caution that those LLMs are generative models that's very important for them to be because you can interact with them and they produce reasoning and so on.

Okay. So I think we will be talking about creativity and then I will also be discussing a lot about constraint, but there will be in my way of thinking in another space.
