Abstract:  Recently, the field has been greatly impressed and inspired by Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-3.5. The LLMs' multi-dimensional abilities are significantly beyond many NLP researchers’ and practitioners’ expectations and thus reshaping the research paradigm of NLP. A natural question is how LLMs get there, and where these fantastic abilities come from. In this talk we try to dissect the strong LLM abilities and trace them to their sources, hoping to give a comprehensive roadmap about the evolution of LLMs.
