GPT-3 & Beyond

Key concepts and open questions in a golden age for Natural Language Understanding

Stream on Demand
Recorded Jan. 18, 2023

Summary

The field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) has seen tremendous progress. In particular, algorithms for Natural Language Understanding (NLU) are evolving and improving at a stunning pace. Systems that seemed like science fiction as recently as ten years ago are now commonplace. One such system is GPT-3 (Generative Pretrained Transformer 3), a state-of-the-art model capable of generating human-like text for a wide range of tasks, such as conversation modeling, summarization, and question answering.

In this webinar Professor Christopher Potts will discuss the significance and implications of recent NLU developments including GPT-3. He will outline the fundamental building blocks of these new systems and describe how we can reliably assess and understand them.


Topics include:
  • Technical capabilities, limitations, and applications of new Natural Language Understanding systems
  • Analysis of the performance of GPT-3 on various language tasks
  • Potential future developments in Natural Language Processing
  • Item 4
