Introduction to cloud-based generative AI models for text data

- [Instructor] Generative AI models can learn patterns and structures in text data. The only thing that matters right now is that these models can produce coherent and relevant texts based on the input. Remember that these systems can understand all types of information, including speech, writing and data streamed indirectly. The intricate details of how this works is not critical at this point. For now, all you need to know is the basic idea of each model. The training process involves exposing the model to vast amounts of text data. This allows it to learn grammar, vocabulary and semantic relationships. Most of the current models are trained off data from the internet, which is why they're good at organizing and formatting information. However, some models can learn from more specific data such as your customer data. So what are the benefits of cloud-based generative AI models for text data? Let's look at a few of them, some of which you may have used today. Language translation. These cloud-based generative AI models can produce accurate translations between different languages, breaking down language barriers. We've all used translation applications such as Google Translate, which can be helpful when traveling to new countries where you don't speak the language. Content generation. Cloud-based generative AI models can output human-like text in writing or simulated speech. Chances are, if you've leveraged productive AI systems such as ChatGPT, you've already used this service to assist in writing a letter, an article or summarizing a research paper. Chatbots and virtual assistants. Conversational AI has been popular for many years. This includes applications in customer service and virtual assistance. Chatbots powered by generative AI models can understand and respond to user queries conversationally, improving customer interactions such as support experiences. We've all used these systems on our phones, smartwatches or digital assistance. Data augmentation. Generative AI models can be used to create synthetic data, augmenting existing data sets for training machine learning models. This model helps address data scarcity problems and reduces the need for extensive data collection efforts, saving processing and storage resources. Creative writing and storytelling. These models can create storylines and assist in the creative process for content creators, screenwriters, and many other types of users. For example, ask ChatGPT or other generative AI systems to write a fictional story about you.
