ChatGPT: A Technical

Perspective

Presented by TeamX
 Introduction to Large Language
Models (LLMs)
1. What are LLMs?
Large Language Models (LLMs) are AI systems trained on
vast amounts of text data to understand and generate
human-like language.
2. Why are they important?
They power applications like chatbots, search engines, and
code generation tools.
3. Popular LLMs :
GPT-4 (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), Claude (Anthropic), LLaMA
(Meta), Falcon (TII).
 Working and Training Processes
of a LLM
1. Key Components of LLMs:
Data: Text from books, websites, etc.
Architecture: Transformer model processes and understands text.

Training: Learns patterns using deep learning.

2. How LLMs Work:

Uses tokens to process text.
- Context vector : keeps track of conversation flow.
- Self-attention : helps understand word relationships.

3. Training Processes :
- Pre-training: Learns general language.
- Fine-tuning: Optimized for specific tasks.
 Popular LLM
Architectures
1. GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer)
- Autoregressive (predicts next word based on previous context).
- Used in ChatGPT, Copilot, Jasper AI.

2. BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from

Transformers)
- Trained bidirectionally (looks at both left and right context).
- Used for search engines, question answering, text classification

3. T5 (Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer)

- Converts all tasks into text-to-text format.
 Transformer Architecture
Overview
1. Introduction to Transformers
- Introduced in the paper Attention Is All You Need (2017).
- Revolutionized NLP by replacing recurrent networks (RNNs, LSTMs).
- Uses self-attention to process entire input sequences in parallel.
2. Key Features
- Parallelization: Faster training compared to RNNs.
- Scalability: Works well for large datasets.
- Context Awareness: Better understanding of long-range
dependencies.
 Transformer Components
1. Input Embedding & Positional Encoding
- Converts words into high-dimensional vectors.
- Positional encoding adds word order information.
2. Multi-Head Self-Attention Mechanism
- Calculates relationships between all words in a sequence.
- Multiple attention heads capture different aspects of meaning.
- Helps in context understanding and relevance.
3. Feedforward Neural Networks & Layer Normalization
- Applies transformations after attention layers.
- Ensures stability with layer normalization.
 Attention Mechanism in
Transformers
1. Scaled Dot-Product Attention
- Computes attention scores using query (Q), key (K), and value (V) vectors.
- Equation:
- Determines how much focus each word should have on others in a
sequence.
2. Multi-Head Attention
- Uses multiple attention heads to capture different types of relationships.
- Each head learns unique attention patterns for better understanding of
context.
3. Self-Attention Process
- Each word in a sequence attends to every other word, creating context-
rich embeddings.
- Enables capturing of long-range dependencies that RNNs struggle with.
 Issue – Hallucination and Reliability
What is Hallucination in LLMs?
- Ms LLgenerate false, misleading, or fabricated information that appears factual.
- Occurs due to pattern-matching without real-world verification.
Examples:
- Generating fake references in research papers.
- Producing incorrect legal case rulings.
- Fabricating product details in customer support.
Why It Happens?
- Lack of external fact-checking.
- Overgeneralization from training data.
- No real-world context awareness.
Impact:
- Trust Issues: Users may lose confidence in AI-generated content.
- Misinformation Spread: Critical in healthcare, law, and finance.
- AI Safety Risks: Potential for misleading or biased responses.
Mitigation Efforts:
- Fact-checking integrations with external databases.
- Prompt engineering to guide responses.
- Human-in-the-loop validation for sensitive applications.
 Issue – Data Bias & Ethical
Concerns
What is Data Bias?
- LLMs inherit biases from training data, leading to unfair outputs.
- AI may reinforce historical and social inequalities.
Types of Bias in LLMs:
- Gender Bias – AI-generated job ads preferring men for tech roles.
- Racial Bias – Discriminatory content in law enforcement predictions.
- Political Bias – Favoring specific viewpoints in discussions.
Ethical Concerns:
- Fairness & Accountability – Who is responsible for AI decisions?
- Harmful Stereotypes – Reinforces discrimination.
- Regulatory Issues – Aligning AI with ethical guidelines.
Mitigation Efforts:
- Diverse training datasets to reduce bias.
- Bias detection tools to audit AI outputs.
- Ethical AI principles to guide model development.
 Solution – Reinforcement
Learning and Hybrid Models
