Hello, I'm Shrijith Venkatramana. I'm building git-lrc, an AI code reviewer that runs on every commit. Star Us to help devs discover the project. Do give it a try and share your feedback for improving the product.
Most developers think large language models were built to predict the next word. They weren't—not at first.
If you travel back to the early 2010s, the hardest problems in AI weren't writing poems or generating code. They were translating English into French, converting speech into text, and summarizing documents. These were all instances of the same challenge: sequence transduction.
The term appears almost casually in the opening paragraph of the Transformer paper:
"...sequence modeling and transduction problems such as language modeling and machine translation."
