Constrained-Text-Genera VS askai

Oh my god. I wrote a whole library called "Constrained Text Generation Studio" where I mused that I wanted a "Photoshop for Text". I'm not even sure which work predates the other: https://github.com/Hellisotherpeople/Constrained-Text-Genera...

The core idea of a "photoshop for text", specifically a word processor made for prosumers supporting GenAI first class (i.e oobabooga but actually good) - is worth so much. If you're a VC reading this, chances are I want to talk to you to actually execute on the idea from the OP

I was working on this stuff before it was cool, so in the sense of the precursor to LLMs (and sometimes supporting LLMs still) I've built many things:

1. Games you can play with word2vec or related models (could be drop in replaced with sentence transformer). It's crazy that this is 5 years old now: https://github.com/Hellisotherpeople/Language-games

2. "Constrained Text Generation Studio" - A research project I wrote when I was trying to solve LLM's inability to follow syntactic, phonetic, or semantic constraints: https://github.com/Hellisotherpeople/Constrained-Text-Genera...

3. DebateKG - A bunch of "Semantic Knowledge Graphs" built on my pet debate evidence dataset (LLM backed embeddings indexes synchronized with a graphDB and a sqlDB via txtai). Can create compelling policy debate cases https://github.com/Hellisotherpeople/DebateKG

4. My failed attempt at a good extractive summarizer. My life work is dedicated to one day solving the problems I tried to fix with this project: https://github.com/Hellisotherpeople/CX_DB8

My mental model for LLMs was built by carefully studying the distribution of its output vocabulary at every time step.

There are tools that allow you to right click and see all possible continuations for an LLM like you would in a code IDE[1]. Seeing what this vocabulary is[2] and how trivial modifications to the prompt can impact probabilities will do a lot for improving the mental model of how LLM operate.

Shameless self plug, but software which can do what I am describing is here, and it's worth noting that it ended up as peer reviewed research.

Yeah, the LLM outputs a distribution of likely next tokens. It is up to the decoder to select one, and it can use a grammar to enforce certain rules on the output. https://github.com/Hellisotherpeople/Constrained-Text-Genera... or https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/grammars/... for example.

I am in love with this, I tried my hand at building a Constrained Text Generation Studio (https://github.com/Hellisotherpeople/Constrained-Text-Genera...), and got published at COLING 2022 for my paper on it (https://paperswithcode.com/paper/most-language-models-can-be...), but I always knew that something like this or the related idea enumerated in this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2306.03081 was the way to go.

I agree with you, and I'm SHOCKED at how little work there actually is in phonetics within the NLP community. Consider that most of the phonetic tools that I am using to enforce rhyming or similar syntactic constrained in constrained text generation studio (https://github.com/Hellisotherpeople/Constrained-Text-Genera...) were built circa 2014, such as the CMU rhyming dictionary. In most cases, I could not find better modern implementations of these tools.

I did learn an awful lot about phonetic representations and matching algorithms. Things like "soundex" and "double metaphone" now make sense to me and are fascinating to read about.

Just ban the damn tokens and try again. I wish that folks had more intuition around tokenization, and why LLMs struggle to follow syntactic, lexical, or phonetic constraints.

My work on constrained text generation / filter assisted decoding for LLMS is cited in this article! One of my proudest moments was being noticed by my senpai Gwern!

https://paperswithcode.com/paper/most-language-models-can-be...

I want to update that just because GPT-4 appears to be far better at following constraints, doesn't mean that it's anywhere near perfect at following them. It's better now at my easy example of "ban the letter e" but if you ask for several constraints, or mixing lexical and phonetic constraints, it gets pretty awful pretty quickly. Filter assisted decoding can make any LLM (no matter how awful they are) follow constraints perfectly.

I can't wait to get someone whose better at coding than me to implement these techniques in the major LLM frontends (oogabooga, llamma.ccp, etc) since my attempt at it was quite poopy research code: https://github.com/hellisotherpeople/constrained-text-genera...

The paper at COLING 2022 that I wrote, titled "Most language models can be poets too" included a GUI constrained text generation studio that I market as being "Like Photoshop but for text"

We'll use several interesting technologies to achieve this: Strapi CMS to take care of the content management and backend, Astro which is a great new technology for quickly creating blazing fast frontend apps, and ChatGPT to provide the article summaries.

I was confused why https://chat.openai.com suddenly redirects to https://chatgpt.com which results in connection refused. Turns out chatgpt.com is in many blocklists (e.g. Pi-Hole) due to it being a potentially unsafe Domain before OpenAI acquiring it. So heads up if you use Pi-Hole / AdGuard etc.!

This API allows you to interact with ChatGPT programmatically, and I've built some cool agents on top of it. Check out the code and let me know what you think! :

ChatGPT unofficial API :

This project is a Node.js application that interacts with the ChatGPT conversational AI model using Puppeteer, a Node.js library for automating web browsers.

Files chatgptv1.js: This file contains the main logic for the ChatGPT bot, including methods for initializing the browser, sending messages, receiving replies, and handling errors.

bart.js: This file contains a function that uses the Cloudflare API to summarize the conversation history when an error occurs, in order to resume the conversation.

twochatbotsconv.js: This file is simple use of the API , which creates two instances of the ChatGPT class, initiates a conversation between them, and saves the conversation history to a file.

.env: This file contains the API token for the Cloudflare API, which is used in the bart.js file.

Dependencies :

puppeteer: A Node.js library for automating web browsers. fs: The built-in file system module in Node.js. winston: A logging library for Node.js. crypto: The built-in cryptography module in Node.js. axios: A popular HTTP client library for Node.js. dotenv: A zero-dependency module that loads environment variables from a .env file.

Usage:

Install the dependencies by running npm install in your project directory. Create a .env file in the project directory and add your Cloudflare API token:

API_TOKEN=YourfreeCloudFlareAPIToken In your code, create a new instance of the ChatGPT class and use the sendMessage and getReply methods to interact with the ChatGPT model:

const ChatGPT = require('./chatgptv1');

const chatgpt = new ChatGPT(); await chatgpt.initializeBrowser();

await chatgpt.sendMessage('Hello, ChatGPT!'); const reply = await chatgpt.getReply(); console.log(reply);

await chatgpt.closeBrowser(); If an error occurs during the conversation, the handleError method will attempt to save the conversation history and resume the conversation using the summarized context.

Before Running :

run Google chrom in the debug mode using 9220 port , run : google-chrome-stable --remote-debugging-port=9222

Customization :

You can customize the behavior of the ChatGPT bot by passing options to the ChatGPT constructor:

chatbotUrl: The URL of the ChatGPT interface (default: 'https://chat.openai.com/'). headless: Whether to run the browser in headless mode (default: false). saveConversationCallback: A callback function that will be called with the conversation summary and the conversation file name when an error occurs.

After wrestling with it for a bit and eventually giving up, I instead turned to ChatGPT to see if it is smart enough for the task. With my free plan, I asked ChatGPT 3.5 the following:
