Chapter 12: Inference - Generating New Text
The article explains how to implement text generation using a trained GPT model in C#. It details the inference process, where the model samples tokens sequentially based on learned probabilities until a stopping condition is met. Temperature is introduced as a parameter to control the randomness and creativity of the generated output.
- ▪The text generation process starts with a BOS token and repeatedly feeds predicted tokens back into the model.
- ▪Temperature scaling adjusts the probability distribution, influencing the diversity and conservatism of the output.
- ▪The model generates new, plausible names not present in the training data by learning underlying statistical patterns.
- ▪A key component of the inference loop is the use of a key-value cache to improve efficiency during autoregressive generation.
- ▪The same sampling logic applies to large language models like ChatGPT during conversation generation.
