What Do Neural Networks Really Learn? Exploring the Brain of an AI Model

Neural networks have become increasingly impressive in recent years, but there's a big catch: we don't really know what they are doing. We give them data and ways to get feedback, and somehow, they learn all kinds of tasks. It would be really useful, especially for safety purposes, to understand what they have learned and how they work after they've been trained. The ultimate goal is not only to understand in broad strokes what they're doing but to precisely reverse engineer the algorithms encoded in their parameters.

How Large Language Models Work

Large language models-or LLMs -are a type of generative pretrained transformer (GPT) that can create human-like text and code. There's a lot of talk about GPTs and LLMs lately, but they've actually been around for years! In this video, Martin Keen briefly explains what a LLM is, how they relate to foundation models, and then covers how they work and how they can be used to address various business problems.

Large Language Models explained briefly

This video by 3Blue1Brown offers a concise and intuitive overview of how large language models (LLMs) function. An LLM is a sophisticated mathematical function designed to predict the next word in a sequence of text. Rather than providing a single deterministic output, it assigns probabilities to all possible next words, allowing for varied and contextually appropriate responses. Watch the video for more details.

What is Back Propagation

Neural networks are great for predictive modeling — everything from stock trends to language translations. But what if the answer is wrong, how do they “learn” to do better? Martin Keen explains that during a process called backward propagation, the generated output is compared to the expected output, and then the error contributed by each neuron (or “node”) is examined. By adjusting the node’s weights and biases, error is reduced and thus the overall accuracy improved.

AI vs Machine Learning

The video explains the relationship and differences between Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning. The video outlines how more data and more computational power have enabled advances in ML and deep learning. It also uses examples (like image recognition) to show how ML models are trained: you feed labeled data, the model adjusts internal parameters to minimize errors, and then it generalises to new, unseen inputs.
