hehe guys the irony, what if we did that hahaha, right, so funny? someone hold my beer, watch this, im about to refer to it indirectly, HAHA was that crazy or what? like total inversion of our agreed upon beliefs ahaha ha..... guys? what's going on? why are you all beginning to turn directly into the notion?
frank, you get my point, exactly, but can you turn up the "NO NO NO" factor by about ten percent?
The algorithm that generates this result was trained by copying the output of another algorithm that generates results in a similar way, and the other algorithm had a "NO NO NO" factor of 90%. So, uh.
youre kidding me. i suppose a max "NO NO NO" factor would overwhelm the intent lol. what other variables does the nested algorithm employ in its generation? and do you think your knowledge/faith in these algorithms constitute a sort of spiritual belief in the context of artificial intelligence?
Yeah, all of the algorithms we train are basically a list of common sentence patterns with different weights for each pattern (you can see some of them here, although it's not all that impressive yet).
To train our NLP code, we use an off-the-shelf natural language generator code. The latter has parameters (the so-called "hyper-parameters") that are tuned to some extent by the process of training. The code's output looks like this (the parameters are at the top right of each image):
If you change these patterns slightly by choosing different combinations of letters, you get different results. (For instance, this phrase gets a different result on the "I" and "you" lines, while "I" and "have" and "have" produce the same result.) E.g. "I have come to make an offer of you an offer to buy you" yields something that looks more like this:
In other words, if you change the order of two words within this list of phrases, you can control the order of the generated sentences.
This list is really just a set of patterned strings with different weights attached to them. When the sentences are generated, these weights are multiplied together, and this is how the resulting output depends on the order of words.
I know a bit more about the specifics of our code than this, but I can't be sure of everything without further testing.
The output of our code is then fed into various other parts, which we call "algorithms." The final output of the NLP code is a sequence of tokens, like this:
The algorithms are trained on a different type of data set: text produced by some other program, which also has a list of common pattern strings (tokens) with different weights assigned to them.
The output of this other program, which I won't describe because I'm not sure how impressive it is, is a list of tokens with different weights attached to them, and each of these weights is a vector in a high-dimensional space. These vectors are trained using a loss function which involves taking a dot product between the weights and a training example, so we actually need a space of vectors, and training only makes sense in that space.
As I understand it, each of the weights represents a "feature." This has the benefit that the weight represents a very simple statistical property of the training examples, and can be computed in the course of training by summing a lot of numbers.
So, for instance, consider the "NO NO NO" feature. When the sentence generator is given a training example like "I am a man of my choice, I am a man of my choice and all of my identity will be destroyed," it will create a vector representing a weighted average of lots and lots of feature vectors for each individual feature. The average vector can be thought of as representing some sort of statistical mode for the feature.
It's worth noting that each particular weight can be thought of as representing a model, and these models are "trained" when a loss function is minimized. As a result, the model space together with its weights can be used as a loss function.
(I've found a lot of great info about this stuff here)
Now, how do these algorithms work? Each of them is just a function of the features. For instance, there are a few features which you've probably heard about:
- n-grams -- this is a list of all the strings of length n in the corpus. For example, [["I", "am", "a", "man", "of", "my", "choice"]] means that a string of characters has been found somewhere in the corpus, and has been replaced with that string. The "man" here doesn't actually appear in any string in the corpus; it merely indicates a "gap" in the list.
- Bag-of-Words -- this is just [all the words in your document]. This is one of the common ways people start training their neural net code.
- Vector -- this is a way of representing words in some feature space. Different neural net codes often treat words differently. For instance, they might map to a space spanned by the "bag-of-words" features, or they might map a space spanned by all the "glove" features (words that have been pre-trained to have some nice properties).
Some of these feature spaces are more like spaces than others. There's a space for words in a document, for example, which has a lot of natural structure (in fact, you can draw diagrams in this space).
As for the other features, people are mostly using them in some way that doesn't have as much natural structure to it. For example, the word word and its space have very natural structure because of how they've been trained. You can actually draw a diagram that spans this space, for instance the "glowworm" feature space. In contrast, the vector space has no natural structure and a diagram can't be drawn spanning this space.
You can also train a neural net in this space. If you do this, you will be doing a type of "training" which I think might be referred to as "learning weights on some space" as opposed to the traditional methods of training on some space.
"Learning weights on a space" sounds kind of awesome, and I do think it is.
