,1,While the Transformer architecture is used in a variety of applications across a number of domains, it first found success in natural language. Today, Transformers remain the de facto model in language - they achieve state-of-the-art results on most natural language benchmarks, and can generate text coherent enough to deceive human readers. In this talk, we will review recent progress in neural language modeling, discuss the link between generating text and solving downstream tasks, and explore how this led to the development of GPT models at OpenAI. Next, we’ll see how the same approach can be used to produce generative models and strong representations in other domains like images, text-to-image, and code. Finally, we will dive into the recently released code generating model, Codex, and examine this particularly interesting domain of study.
