What are Large Language Models?
Language models are machine learning models that are trained to predict the likelihood of a sequence of words. They are commonly used in natural language processing tasks such as language translation, text summarization, and image captioning.
Language models take in a sequence of words as input and assign a probability to each word in the sequence, indicating how likely it is to occur given the context of the previous words. The model can then be used to generate text by sampling words from the probability distribution, with the most likely words being more likely to be chosen.
Language models can be trained on a large dataset of text and can learn the patterns and structure of the language. This allows them to generate text that is similar in style and content to the training data. On Adaptiv, we have trained LLMs on text books, research papers, and constantly incoming data on job market trends to generate career recipes and micro-lessons for upskilling.
What is the future of work?
š§āš¼ Rapid advances in technology, the global economy, shifting political realities, and changing demographics will influence the future of work.
š® Experts believe that the future of work will be increasingly automated, and specialised. The green economy and creator economy are expected to grow, and telecommuting and other forms of remote work are likely to become more common.
