ChatGPT is a GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) machine learning (ML) tool that has surprised the world. Its breathtaking capabilities impress casual users, professionals, researchers, and even its own creators. Moreover, its capacity to be an ML model trained for general tasks and perform very well in domain-specific situations is impressive. I am a researcher, and its … [Read more...] about Can ChatGPT Compete With Domain-Specific Sentiment Analysis Machine Learning Models?

Amazon Releases 51-Language Dataset for Language Understanding
Imagine that all people around the world could use voice AI systems such as Alexa in their native tongues. One promising approach to realizing this vision is massively multilingual natural-language understanding (MMNLU), a paradigm in which a single machine learning model can parse and understand inputs from many typologically diverse languages. By learning a shared data … [Read more...] about Amazon Releases 51-Language Dataset for Language Understanding
