Episode notes
NLP's Shift to Incrementalism
- NLP is shifting from revolutionary breakthroughs to incremental improvements.
- It's becoming more about refining existing techniques rather than discovering new architectures.
NLP Eating ML
- NLP is merging with other ML fields, especially computer vision.
- This allows for tasks like semantic image search and generating images from text descriptions.
Glide's Innovation
- Glide uses a diffusion model instead of a classifier.
- This produces more photorealistic image generation and impressive in-painting capabilities.
