Language Models in Machine Learning
Language models are a cornerstone of modern NLP (Natural Language Processing), enabling machines to understand, generate, and manipulate human language. 🧠 Here's a concise overview:
🌐 What Are Language Models?
- Definition: Statistical models that assign probabilities to sequences of words.
- Purpose: To predict the next word in a sequence or generate coherent text.
- Applications: Chatbots, translation, summarization, and more.

🧩 Key Technologies
- Transformer Architecture: Uses self-attention mechanisms for parallel processing.
- Pre-training & Fine-tuning:
- Pre-training on large corpora
- Fine-tuning for specific tasks
🚀 Future Directions
- Multilingual Support: Models like mBERT handle multiple languages.
- Ethical Considerations: Address bias and privacy concerns.
- Integration with Other AI Domains: Combining with computer vision or reinforcement learning.
