"## Tokenization and Text Preprocessing\n",
"\n",
"Tokenization is the process of breaking down a given text into smaller units called tokens. In most NLP tasks, tokens are usually words, phrases, or sentences. The goal of tokenization is to convert unstructured text data into a more structured form that can be easily analyzed and processed by algorithms. Text preprocessing, on the other hand, is the process of cleaning and preparing text data for further analysis or processing. It often involves tasks like converting text to lowercase, removing punctuation marks, removing stop words, and stemming or lemmatization.\n",
"\n",
"A simple example of tokenization and text preprocessing is as follows:\n",
"\n",
"1. Tokenization\n",
"\n",
" Consider the following text: \"ChatGPT is an AI model developed by OpenAI.\"\n",
"\n",
" A simple whitespace-based tokenization would break the text into the following tokens:\n",
"[\"ChatGPT\", \"is\", \"an\", \"AI\", \"model\", \"developed\", \"by\", \"OpenAI.\"]\n",
"1. Text Preprocessing\n",
"\n",
" In this step, we would perform several preprocessing tasks, such as:\n",
" * Lowercasing: Convert all characters to lowercase.\n",
" * Removing punctuation: Remove punctuation marks from the tokens.\n",
" * Removing stop words (optional): Remove common words like \"a\", \"an\", \"the\", \"and\", etc., that do not carry significant meaning.\n",
"\n",
" After preprocessing, the tokens might look like this:\n",
"[\"chatgpt\", \"is\", \"an\", \"ai\", \"model\", \"developed\", \"by\", \"openai\"]\n",

"## Data Structures for Vocabulary and Text Storage\n",
"Efficient storage and retrieval of vocabulary and text data are crucial in large-scale natural language processing tasks. Two common data structures used for these purposes are Tries and Bloom Filters.\n",
"\n",
"1. Tries (also called Prefix Trees):\n",
"\n",
" A Trie is a tree-like data structure that stores a dynamic set of strings. Tries are efficient for searching, insertion, and deletion of words in a dictionary. Each node in the trie represents a character in a word, and a complete path from the root node to a leaf node represents a word in the dictionary. Tries are particularly useful for tasks such as autocomplete suggestions, spell checking, and searching for words with common prefixes.\n",
"\n",
" Simple Example: Suppose we have the words [\"chat\", \"chatter\", \"cat\", \"bat\"]. The trie would look like this:\n",
"```\n",
" (root)\n",
" / \\\n",
" c b\n",
" / \\\n",
" h a\n",
" / \\\n",
" a t\n",
" \\ \\\n",
" t *\n",
" \\ /\n",
" t a\n",
" / \\\n",
" e *\n",
" / \\\n",
" r *\n",
" \\\n",
" *\n",
"```\n",
"Here, each node represents a character, and an asterisk (*) represents the end of a word.\n",
"\n",
"1. Bloom Filters:\n",
"\n",
" A Bloom Filter is a space-efficient, probabilistic data structure used to test whether an element is a member of a set. It can have false positives (i.e., it may report that an item is in the set when it is not) but never false negatives (i.e., it will never report that an item is not in the set when it is). Bloom Filters are useful for tasks such as spell checking, detecting membership in large text datasets, and reducing the number of disk lookups in databases.\n",
"\n",
" Simple Example: Suppose we have the words [\"chat\", \"chatter\", \"cat\", \"bat\"]. We insert these words into a Bloom Filter using multiple hash functions. When querying the Bloom Filter for a word, it will either report that the word is \"possibly in the set\" (with some probability of being a false positive) or \"definitely not in the set.\"\n",

"## Vector Space Models and Word Embeddings\n",
"\n",
"Vector space models represent words or documents as vectors in a high-dimensional space. This representation allows us to quantify the semantic similarity between words or documents by measuring the distance between their vectors. Word embeddings are dense vector representations of words, capturing semantic and syntactic information in a compact form. Some popular techniques for creating word embeddings are Bag of Words, TF-IDF, and Word2Vec.\n",
"\n",
"1. Bag of Words (BoW):\n",
"\n",
" BoW represents a text as a \"bag\" of its words, disregarding grammar and word order but keeping track of the frequency of words. It creates a vocabulary of all unique words in the text and represents each document as a vector with the count of each word in the document.\n",
"\n",
" Simple Example: Suppose we have the following sentences:\n",
"\n",
" * \"ChatGPT is an AI model.\"\n",
" * \"OpenAI developed the ChatGPT model.\"\n",
"\n",
" The vocabulary for these sentences is [\"chatgpt\", \"is\", \"an\", \"ai\", \"model\", \"openai\", \"developed\", \"the\"]. The BoW vectors for the sentences are:\n",
"\n",
" * [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0]\n",
" * [1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1]\n",
"\n",
"1. Term Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF):\n",
"\n",
" TF-IDF is an extension of the Bag of Words model that weighs each term based on its importance in the document and across the entire corpus. It takes into account the frequency of a word in a document (Term Frequency) and the rarity of the word across all documents (Inverse Document Frequency). The resulting vectors give more importance to words that are specific to a document, rather than common words that appear in many documents.\n",
"\n",
"1. Word2Vec:\n",
"\n",
" Word2Vec is a neural network-based technique that learns continuous word embeddings by training on large text corpora. It captures the semantic meaning of words in dense vectors, usually with hundreds of dimensions. There are two main architectures for Word2Vec: Continuous Bag of Words (CBOW) and Skip-gram. Word2Vec embeddings can capture semantic relationships like synonyms, antonyms, and analogies.\n",

"## Language Models and Algorithms\n",
"\n",
"Language models are probabilistic models that assign probabilities to sequences of words or tokens. They can be used for various NLP tasks such as text generation, machine translation, and speech recognition. In this section, we will focus on n-gram models, which are simple but effective language models.\n",
"\n",
"1. N-gram models:\n",
"\n",
" An n-gram model is a language model that predicts the next word in a sequence based on the previous (n-1) words. For example, a bigram model (n=2) predicts the next word based on the previous word, and a trigram model (n=3) predicts the next word based on the previous two words. N-gram models can be created by counting the occurrences of n-grams in a large text corpus and calculating the conditional probabilities of words given their context.\n",
"\n",
"1. Data structures and algorithms in n-gram models:\n",
"\n",
" N-gram models often use hash tables (dictionaries in Python) for efficient storage and look-up of n-gram counts. To handle unseen n-grams, smoothing algorithms like Laplace smoothing or Kneser-Ney smoothing can be used to assign non-zero probabilities to unseen n-grams.\n",

"## Neural Networks and Transformers\n",
"\n",
"In recent years, neural networks have become the foundation of many natural language processing (NLP) tasks, including language modeling and text generation. They have the ability to learn complex patterns and representations from large amounts of data, resulting in state-of-the-art performance across various NLP tasks.\n",
"\n",
"1. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks:\n",
"\n",
" RNNs are a type of neural network designed for processing sequences of data. They maintain a hidden state that can capture information from previous time steps, allowing them to learn patterns in sequences. However, RNNs struggle with learning long-range dependencies due to the vanishing gradient problem. LSTMs, a special kind of RNN, were developed to overcome this limitation by incorporating a memory cell and specialized gating mechanisms that enable them to learn long-range dependencies more effectively.\n",
"\n",
"1. Transformers:\n",
"\n",
" Transformers are a more recent neural network architecture that has revolutionized NLP. Unlike RNNs, which process sequences sequentially, Transformers process all input tokens simultaneously, making them highly parallelizable and more efficient for large-scale NLP tasks. Transformers rely on the concept of self-attention, allowing them to focus on different parts of the input sequence when generating an output.\n",
"\n",
"1. Attention mechanisms and self-attention in Transformers:\n",
"\n",
" Attention mechanisms are a critical component of Transformers. They allow the model to weigh the importance of different input tokens when generating an output. Self-attention, a specific type of attention mechanism used in Transformers, enables the model to relate different positions of a single input sequence to compute a representation of the sequence. This is achieved by calculating a weighted sum of the input tokens, with the weights determined by the compatibility between the tokens.\n",
"\n",
"In a nutshell, neural networks like RNNs, LSTMs, and Transformers have become indispensable in modern NLP due to their ability to learn complex patterns and representations from large amounts of data. Their success can be attributed to their unique architecture and the use of attention mechanisms, which allow them to capture contextual information and dependencies effectively.\n",
"\n",
"###More On Transformers\n",
"The key innovation of the Transformer architecture is the way it handles the processing of sequences, which makes it particularly effective for natural language processing tasks.\n",
"\n",
"Here are the main features that make a Transformer a Transformer:\n",
"\n",
"1. Self-attention mechanism: The most distinctive feature of the Transformer architecture is the self-attention mechanism, which allows the model to weigh the importance of different tokens in the input sequence based on their relevance to a particular context. Self-attention helps the model capture long-range dependencies and contextual information effectively, leading to better performance on various NLP tasks.\n",
"\n",
"1. Parallel processing: Unlike Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, which process sequences one token at a time, Transformers process all tokens in the input sequence simultaneously. This parallel processing makes Transformers more computationally efficient and enables them to scale better with large input sequences.\n",
"\n",
"1. Positional encoding: Since Transformers process all tokens simultaneously, they don't inherently capture the order of the tokens in the input sequence. To overcome this limitation, the Transformer architecture incorporates positional encoding, which adds information about the position of each token in the sequence to the input embeddings. This allows the model to maintain the sequence's temporal structure and consider the order of tokens when generating output representations.\n",
"\n",
"1. Layered architecture: Transformers have a layered architecture consisting of multiple encoder and decoder layers. Each encoder layer consists of a self-attention mechanism and a feed-forward neural network, while each decoder layer has an additional encoder-decoder attention mechanism. The layered structure allows Transformers to learn complex patterns and representations from the input data.\n",
"\n",
"1. Multi-head attention: The Transformer architecture employs multi-head attention, which splits the self-attention mechanism into multiple parallel \"heads.\" Each head computes attention scores independently, allowing the model to capture different aspects of the input sequence simultaneously. The outputs of all the heads are then concatenated and projected back to the original dimension, resulting in a more expressive and contextually rich output representation.\n",
"\n",
"In summary, the Transformer architecture is characterized by its self-attention mechanism, parallel processing, positional encoding, layered structure, and multi-head attention. These features work together to create a highly efficient and effective neural network model for processing sequences, making Transformers the backbone of modern natural language processing.\n",
"\n",
"### More on Attention Mechanisms\n",
"\n",
"Attention mechanisms were introduced to help neural networks focus on the most relevant parts of the input data when processing it. In the context of NLP, attention allows a model to weigh the importance of words or tokens in a sequence based on their relevance to a particular context. This ability to selectively focus on specific parts of the input helps the model capture long-range dependencies and contextual information effectively.\n",
"\n",
"Now, let's discuss self-attention, a specific type of attention mechanism used in Transformer models. In self-attention, the model calculates the attention scores between different positions of a single input sequence to compute a representation of the sequence. This is achieved through three learned linear projections: query (Q), key (K), and value (V). These projections are derived from the input token embeddings.\n",
"\n",
"The dot-product self-attention mechanism works as follows:\n",
"\n",
"Calculate the dot product between the query (Q) and key (K) matrices. This step results in attention scores, which represent the compatibility between each query and key pair.\n",
"\n",
"Normalize the attention scores using the softmax function. This step ensures that the scores sum up to 1 and can be interpreted as probabilities.\n",
"\n",
"Compute the weighted sum of the value (V) matrix using the normalized attention scores as weights. This step produces the output matrix, which is a linear combination of the input values, weighted by their attention scores.\n",
"\n",
"\n",
"### More on Projections\n",
"In the context of attention mechanisms, \"projections\" refer to linear transformations applied to the input token embeddings to create new representations. These projections are computed using learned weight matrices, which are trained alongside the rest of the model. The idea behind these projections is to map the input embeddings into different spaces that help the model capture various aspects of the input data more effectively.\n",
"\n",
"The three projections used in self-attention are called query (Q), key (K), and value (V). The names have their roots in information retrieval and database systems, where a query is used to search for relevant items in a database, the keys represent the items, and the values are the associated information.\n",
"\n",
"In the context of self-attention:\n",
"\n",
"1. Query (Q) projections: The query projections represent the current position or token we are trying to compute the output for. They help the model determine how much attention should be paid to other tokens in the input sequence when generating the output for the current position.\n",
"\n",
"1. Key (K) projections: The key projections represent all the positions in the input sequence that the model should consider when generating the output for the current position (represented by the query). They are used to compute the compatibility between the query and each position in the input sequence.\n",
"\n",
"1. Value (V) projections: The value projections are the actual information associated with each position in the input sequence. The model uses the attention scores computed between the query and key projections to weigh the value projections, creating a contextually relevant output representation for the current position.\n",
"\n",
"In summary, the query projections help the model identify the current position or token it needs to generate the output for, the key projections represent all the other positions in the input sequence that could be relevant to the current position, and the value projections carry the information associated with each position in the input sequence. By calculating the attention scores between the query and key projections, the model can determine the relevance of each position in the input sequence to the current position, and then use these scores to weigh the value projections when generating the output representation.\n",
"\n",
"\n",
"### The Code\n",
"The code example provided earlier demonstrates a simple implementation of the dot-product self-attention mechanism using NumPy. It calculates the attention scores between each query and key pair, normalizes the scores with softmax, and computes the weighted sum of the value matrix to produce the output matrix.\n",
"\n",
"This activity aims to provide a basic understanding of how attention mechanisms, specifically self-attention, work in neural networks. Although it's a simplified example, it lays the foundation for understanding more advanced concepts in Transformer models, such as multi-head attention and positional encoding.\n",
"\n",
"#### Softmax\n",
"The code below defines a function \"softmax\" which is very common in machine learning contexts. The softmax function is an activation function that takes an input vector of real numbers and converts it into a probability distribution. It does this by exponentiating each element in the input vector, and then normalizing the result so that the sum of the elements in the output vector equals 1. Softmax is often used in the output layer of a neural network for multi-class classification problems, as it provides a meaningful representation of the predicted probabilities for each class."
