T5 (Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer) LLM

A T5 (Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer) LLM is a encoder-decoder architecture large language model.

• Context:
  • It can (typically) perform various natural language processing tasks by treating every task as a text generation problem, where the input and output are always strings of text.
  • It can (typically) be pre-trained on a large corpus using a denoising objective, where certain spans of text are replaced with a sentinel token, and the model is trained to predict the masked span.
  • It can (often) be fine-tuned on specific tasks, adapting its pre-trained knowledge to specific NLP tasks such as translation, question answering, or text summarization.
  • It can demonstrate strong performance across a wide array of NLP benchmarks, showcasing its versatility and efficiency in handling different types of language tasks.
  • It can (often) be available in various sizes, offering flexibility in terms of computational resources and performance needs.
  • It can (typically) use a unified approach for different NLP tasks, simplifying the process of developing NLP applications by using a single model for multiple tasks.
