Abstract:

ChatGPT and GPT-4 have demonstrated remarkable performance in many natural language processing (NLP), reasoning, content generation, and multimodal tasks, particularly, in zero-shot learning settings. In some sense, ChatGPT/GPT-4 already exhibits human intelligence traits, or artificial general intelligence (AGI). In this talk, Prof. LIU will share his understanding of core technologies in ChatGPT/GPT-4 including large language models (LLM), in-context learning, prompt engineering, reinforcement learning from human feedback, and multimodal integration, and he will also offer brain science perspectives to these innovative methodologies. Two of his recent research papers on ChatGPT/GPT-4 (arXiv: 2303.11032 and arXiv: 2302.13007) will be discussed as examples.
