Description
Large language models use deep learning to learn from extensive text data and generate human-like text. They are capable of understanding contexts and generating relevant responses, making them useful in many applications.
✔Benefits
- Increased efficiency in text generation
- Improved user interaction
- Diverse application possibilities
✖Limitations
- Can inherit biases from training data
- Requires large amounts of data for effective training
- Can provide inaccurate answers in certain contexts
Trade-offs
Metrics
- Accuracy
The percentage of correct predictions made by the model.
- Processing Time
The time taken by the model to generate a response.
- User Satisfaction
The level of satisfaction of users with the generated results.
