NOTE

Memorization enables creativity through generalization

Memorization plays a crucial role in the training of language models, allowing them to store and recall specific information like famous poems, which is beneficial. However, effective models must also demonstrate the ability to generalize beyond what they have memorized. This generalization enables them to create outputs that are not merely reproductions but rather new interpretations or extensions of learned concepts, themes, or styles. The ability to interpolate and extrapolate suggests that these models possess a form of creativity by connecting disparate ideas and generating novel content, pushing the boundaries of traditional definitions of creativity and imagination.
