Tom Mahon joined IET Hammersmith members.
It was great for Patent Attorney Tom Mahon to be invited to present to the Insitution of Enginerring and Technology's Hammersmith members on demystifying Large Language Models (LLMs) and how they think.
LLMs like ChatGPT are built on elegant mathematics, sophisticated training processes and groundbreaking engineering. Tom’s session covered:
- How machines learned to understand language
- What training an LLM really involves
- How models represent and generate text
- Key concepts like tokenization, attention and probabilistic generation
- Practical examples of ChatGPT’s “reasoning” in action
If you are using or building LLMs and would like to understand your IP rights and how to protect them, please contact Tom Mahon.
