  • Photoshop for Text (2022)
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 6 Apr 2024
    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

  • Ask HN: What have you built with LLMs?
    43 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 5 Feb 2024
    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

  • You need a mental model of LLMs to build or use a LLM-based product
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Nov 2023
    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.

  • Ask HN: How training of LLM dedicated to code is different from LLM of “text”
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 2 Oct 2023
    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.
  • Understanding GPT Tokenizers

    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.

  • GPT-3 Creative Fiction
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 19 Apr 2023
    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...

  • Photoshop for Text
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 18 Oct 2022
    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"
