GPT-1~3
GPT-1
Our system works in two stages; first we train a transformer model on a very large amount of data in an unsupervised manner — using language modeling as a training signal — then we fine-tune this model on much smaller supervised datasets to help it solve specific tasks.
We trained a 12-layer decoder-only transformer with masked self-attention heads (768 dimensional states and 12 attention heads).
GPT 全称 generative pre-training, 就是预训练 + 微调. 时间顺序从前到后依次是, GPT-1, BERT, GPT-2.
