1. A Brief History of NLP (Natural Language Processing), AI & Langchain, LLms
A Brief History
1. Early 1990s: Ferdinand de Saussure, a Swiss
linguistics professor, concepts of language as systems
Created through the relationships and differences
within language elements
2. 1916: Two of Saussure’s colleagues, publish “Cours
de Linguistique Générale,”
Structuralist approach to linguistics and influences
later fields, including computer science
3. 1950: Alan Turing publishes,
a paper proposing
Machine can converse indistinguishably from a
human
4. 1952: Hodgkin-Huxley model of neuronal activity,
furthers the understanding of how the brain processes
information
Contributing to the development of artificial
intelligence (AI) and natural language processing
(NLP)
History of Natural Language Processing
What is NLP?
NLP is a field of artificial intelligence that enables
computers to understand, interpret, and respond to
human language by breaking down language into
basic elements and analyzing their relationships.

A Brief History
Huge parameter count and large corpus of training data used to
train the models
fine-tuned on text conversations and further tuned using RLHF
Granted access to external knowledge
Next trend was the adoption of frameworks such as LangChain and
LlamaIndex to facilitate Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
The ability to search the web generate Web Search queries, in a similar way to RAG
Adding memory, personalisation and task
planning
connect external data stores / vector stores to allow LLMs to
store memories and personalisation metadata
GPT-3 :2k, GPT-3.5: 4k, GPT-4 :8k, GPT-4-Turbo, GPT-4o :128k.

2. Overview of Langchain
Langchain Overview
What is Langchain?
LangChain is a framework for developing applications
powered by language models.
Are context-aware: connect a language model to
sources of context (prompt instructions, few shot
examples, content to ground its response in, etc.)

•LangChain Libraries: The Python and JavaScript libraries. interfaces and integrations, a basic run time for
combining these components into chains and agents, and off-the-shelf implementations of chains and agents.
•LangChain Templates: A collection of easily deployable reference architectures for a wide variety of tasks.
•LangServe: A library for deploying LangChain chains as a REST API.
• LangSmith: A developer platform that lets you debug, test, evaluate, and monitor chains built on any
LLM framework and seamlessly integrates with LangChain.

3. Understanding Large Language Models
Large Language Model
What is Large Language Model?
(LLM) is a deep learning algorithm that can
perform a variety of
natural language processing (NLP) tasks.
Large Language Model
Difference between LLMs and Generative AI
Generative AI is an umbrella term that refers to artificial intelligence models that have the
capability to generate content. Generative AI can generate text, code, images, video, and
music.
Examples of generative AI include Midjourney, DALL-E, and ChatGPT.
Large language models are a type of generative AI that are trained on text and produce
textual content. ChatGPT is a popular example of generative text AI.
※ All large language models are generative AI

Popular Large Language Models
•PaLM: Google's Pathways Language Model (PaLM) is a transformer language model capable of common-
sense and arithmetic reasoning, joke explanation, code generation, and translation.
•BERT: The Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) language model was also
developed at Google. It is a transformer-based model that can understand natural language and answer
questions.
• XLNet: A permutation language model, XLNet generated output predictions in a random order, which
distinguishes it from BERT. It assesses the pattern of tokens encoded and then predicts tokens in random
order, instead of a sequential order.
GPT: Generative pre-trained transformers are perhaps the best-known large language models. Developed by
OpenAI, GPT is a popular foundational model whose numbered iterations are improvements on their
predecessors (GPT-3, GPT-4, etc.).

Conclusion
In conclusion, understanding the synergy between Langchain and Large
Language Models is pivotal in advancing our AI and NLP capabilities, and as
we've explored today, through cultivating a comprehensive understanding and
practical application of these models, we can unlock immense potential in
various technological fields.
