natural language - 2025 PACE NSC

Question

Tom B. Brown et al. 2020 describes power law-based empirical scaling laws that restrict analysis of this type of data. This is the canonical type of data whose analysis is tailored via "indexing" and "retrieval" steps in RAG. A mechanism (0[1])for processing this type of data is parallelized (20[1]0[1])in a "multi-head" approach. (20[2])Seq2seq (20[1])("seek two seek") inspired the paper (20[1])"Attention Is All You Need," (20[1]0[2])which (20[1])improved encoder-decoder architecture for handling (0[1])this type (20[1])of data. This (*) autoregressive type of data is the focus of tools like PaLM, Chinchilla, and Meta’s Llama. (10[1]0[1])Transformers (10[1])typically handle this (10[2])non-visual (10[1])type of data, (10[2])which (10[1])is studied in NLP and processed (0[1])by (10[3])LLMs. (10[6])For 10 points, (10[2])name this (10[2])type of data (0[1])that is processed (10[1])by translators. (10[2])■END■ (10[8]0[2])
