I'm one of the authors of Backprop, a library built for transfer learning.

I'd like to share Backprop, an open source library I've been co-authoring for the last few months.

We've also got an open-source library that makes using + finetuning these models possible in a few lines of code.

I'd like to share Backprop, a Python library I've been co-authoring for the last few months. Our goal is to make finetuning and using models as easy as possible, even without extensive ML experience.

You might get some really promising results with finetuning.

If anything, you could build writing assistance that almost automates responses.

I've been co-authoring a library that lets you finetune such models in a single line of code.

In specific the text generation finetuning example should be what you are looking for: https://github.com/backprop-ai/backprop/blob/main/examples/F...

Hope this helps, happy to chat more about it. Pretty curious about the results.

Here's an example Jupyter Notebook for finetuning T5. Full disclosure, I work on this library myself -- but it could be helpful.

I'm working on a library that hopefully makes working with some of these a bit easier -- here's an example notebook for running text classification with the BART checkpoint, if you're interested. If you need more task-specific finetuning for text classification, that's going to be rolled out in the near future.

I'm working on a library that includes a few different ML tasks, including summarisation. It uses a pretrained version of Google's T5 transformer model, which we host on Hugging Face with some details on how it was trained.

By December 2020, EleutherAI had introduced The Pile, a comprehensive text dataset designed for training models. Subsequently, tech giants such as Microsoft, Meta, and Google used this dataset for training their models. In March 2021, they revealed GPT-Neo, an open-source model under Apache 2.0 license, which was unmatched in size at its launch. EleutherAI’s later projects include the release of GPT-J, a 6 billion parameter model, and GPT-NeoX, a 20 billion parameter model, unveiled in February 2022. Their work demonstrates the viability of high-quality open-source AI models.

Yeah, if that is your requirement you should definitely ignore chatterbot, as its older and probably not what your teacher wants. I'm looking at the gpt-neo docs right now: https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neo

3.) EleutherAI's GPT-Neo and GPT-NeoX: EleutherAI is an independent research organization that aims to promote open research in artificial intelligence. They have released GPT-Neo, an open-source language model based on the GPT architecture, and are developing GPT-NeoX, a highly-scalable GPT-like model. You can find more information on their GitHub repositories: GPT-Neo: https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neo GPT-NeoX: https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neox

This is one of the first comprehensive plugins that has been rewritten to support multiple AI backends such as OpenAI GPT3+ and other custom sources in the future such as ChatGPT, GPT-J, GPT-neo and more.

GPT-Neo is newer than GPT-2 on the open source side of things. In my experience, it tends to give longer and more creative responses than GPT-2 but not on the level of GPT-3. I've not tried GPT-J or GPT-NeoX, but they're also open source and reportedly better than GPT-Neo (albeit less accessible).

Finally, yes-- it is trained via masked language modeling (text prediction). The approach has been fairly standard for years- the big difference with the GPT* models is the number of paramaters and volume of text-- we still haven't reached a ceiling with LLM parameters- they appear to keep improving with size. This training allows the model to learn a strong representation of language. Their training approach is published and open-source GPT* versions have already been made and released (https://github.com/EleutherAI/gpt-neo). However, the models are huge and can't be run locally for hobbyists. This gets at larger issues in democratization of ML.
