Haha fun fact: I used to”delve” 2x in my 2014 Python Machine Learning book 10 years as well. ChatGPT must have learned that habit from my older books

Manual Feature Extraction and Count Vector Representations in ML
By
–
Oh I see what you mean. Here human experts don’t necessarily extract the features. What I meant was more like humans came up with the idea that count vectors are a good representation (vs inputting the raw sentence). Ie here with manual feature extraction I mean the

Naive Bayes Spam Filtering Feature Extraction Discussion
By
–
This is actually a fun discussion! Regarding naive Bayes for spam filtering, in my view, that's definitely manual feature extraction as you have to construct term frequency vectors as input to the model (i.e., bag of words). Alternatively, you could use embeddings like from

BERT masked token prediction and LLM next-word prediction clarification
By
–
Hope you are enjoying the book! And thanks for sharing your notes! Btw regarding your nits, I introduced the masked token prediction task of BERT in Fig 1.5 and even refer to BERT-like "LLMs", but you are right, I mostly equate LLMs with "next-word prediction" for simplicity's

Thanks for your interest in contributing. I unfortunately currently don’t have access to a computer until likely next week (long story) but off the top of my head and as far as I can tell right now, I think you can copy most code from the Alpaca or LIMA (

Token Caching Challenges in Large Language Models
By
–
Not a dumb question at all. I think caching is the trickiest one here (obvious ones like kv-caching aside). Caching token embeddings of common words probably don’t really help much. And prompts are probably often diverse enough that caching those would be too expensive. Session
