embeddings, or contextual embeddings (e.g., BERT) can be used to encode the
tokens, preserving the semantic information.
4. ModelArchitecture
ChatGPT is typically based on the GPT model architecture, which utilizes a
transformer neural network. The transformer model is composed of several layers
of self-attention and feed-forward neural networks, allowing the model to capture
long-range dependencies and generate coherent responses.
5. Training Procedure
Training ChatGPT involves fine-tuning the pre-trained model using the prepared
dataset. The training procedure consists of several key steps.
15. 5.1 OptimizerSelection
Choosing an appropriate optimizer is crucial for efficient training. Common
choices include variations of stochastic gradient descent (SGD) like Adam,
Adagrad, or RMSprop. The optimizer determines the update rules for adjusting the
model's parameters during training.
5.2 LearningRateScheduling
Applying a learning rate schedule helps control the pace at which the model
learns. Techniques such as linear decay, cosine annealing, or exponential decay
can be utilized to adjust the learning rate over different training epochs, ensuring
convergence and preventing overfitting.
5.3 LossFunction
The choice of an appropriate loss function is fundamental for training ChatGPT.
