 Term/Acronym/Person	Relation to GPT Transformers	Explanation
-Machine Learning (ML)	GPT transformers are a specific type of ML model.	A field of computer science that gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed.
-Hardware	GPT transformers require significant computational hardware (like GPUs) to train and run.	The physical components of a computer system, including processors, memory, etc.
-Scaling	GPT transformers have demonstrated impressive performance improvements with increased model size and data. This is referred to as "scaling."	Increasing the size of a model (number of parameters) and the amount of data it's trained on.
-Maths (Mathematics)	The underlying principles of transformers are based on mathematical concepts like linear algebra and calculus, but the focus has shifted towards empirical results.	The abstract science of number, quantity, and space.
-Theory	Some argue that the development of transformers has been driven more by engineering than by a deep theoretical understanding of why they work so well.	A set of principles on which the practice of an activity is based. In this context, it refers to the fundamental understanding of how and why machine learning models work.
-Algorithm	Transformers use specific algorithms for training (like backpropagation) and inference.	A set of rules or instructions for solving a problem or accomplishing a task.
-Neural Nets (Neural Networks)	Transformers are a type of neural network architecture.	A computing system inspired by the biological neural networks that constitute animal brains. They consist of interconnected nodes (neurons) that process and transmit information.
-Symbolic AI	Not directly related to transformers, but represents a contrasting approach to AI.	A branch of AI that focuses on representing knowledge and reasoning using symbols and logical rules.
-ARC (Abstraction and Reasoning Corpus)	Not directly related to transformers but used as a benchmark to evaluate the reasoning abilities of AI models, including LLMs based on transformers.	A dataset designed to test the abstract reasoning abilities of AI systems.
-Test-time fine-tuning	A technique that can be applied to transformer-based models, including GPT, to improve performance on specific tasks during inference.	Adapting a pre-trained model to a specific task during the testing phase, rather than during the initial training phase.
-Backprop (Backpropagation)	The core algorithm used to train transformers, including GPT.	An algorithm for training neural networks by calculating the gradient of the loss function with respect to the network's weights and using it to update the weights.
-Active Data Selection	A technique that can be used with transformer models to improve efficiency and performance.	A method for selecting the most informative data points to train a model, rather than using all available data.

A deep learning researcher and author known for his work on Keras and his critical views on the current direction of AI research.
-Location Embedding	A specific technique used in the original transformer architecture, but not a core part of GPT. Later transformer models, including GPT, use positional encoding instead.	A method for representing the position of words in a sequence within the transformer architecture.
-RL (Reinforcement Learning)	Can be combined with transformers, including GPT, for certain applications.	A type of machine learning where an agent learns to interact with an environment by taking actions and receiving rewards or penalties.
-MCTS (Monte Carlo Tree Search)	Can be used in conjunction with transformer-based models for decision-making in complex environments.	A decision-making algorithm often used in game playing and other domains where an agent needs to explore a large search space.
