How LLMs Understand Text: Context and Meaning in the AI Age
This talk, presented by Dominik Lukeš, a Lead Business Technologist at the AI Competency Centre, will outline how Large Language Models “read” and “understand” text, and how they generate their response. This contrasts with how humans perform the same tasks (which is not always the same as how they perceive them). The talk will explore how humans deploy attention, working memory and external tools to deal with complex text in contrast to the models which only use a form of attention.
