Causal vs. Masked Language Models
- GPT language models are causal language models (CLMs), distinct from masked language models (MLMs).
- CLMs predict the next word in a sequence based on preceding words, using an auto-regressive approach.
- MLMs predict a masked word within a sentence based on surrounding context.
- GPT's auto-regressive nature means it sequentially predicts each word based on all prior words in the sequence.
- This allows GPT to generate coherent and contextually relevant text by building upon previous predictions.
