Were the research papers used to train Ibm’s language model not public? If the papers are public and there are no restrictions, Chatgpt and Gemini can use those right? If Chatgpt and Gemini used those, what’s the benefit of using Ibm’s language model?
Odd that heliophysics (sun physics) was specified. It’s under astrophysics.
Not really? It doesn’t have sources, all the information is just thrown into a heap in its neural net. You can somewhat trick it by telling it that it’s an expert in the field, but it’s far from foolproof
There are 2 main ways to alter the way llms like chatgpt respond: 1) training & fine-tuning and 2) prompting.
Prompting means feeding the LLM information in the form of text, so it has actual stuff in what you could call its “short-term memory”. That can be done interactively and only allows you to feed it a limited number of words.
Training and tuning are much slower processes and are used to build up and refine the “long-term” memory and to give importance and detail to specific topics, or to reinforce some kind of trait, like tone or type of answers it can produce.
I’m pretty sure what ibm and nasa did was a round of fine-tuning with material in that area of knowledge, not just prompting.

Presumably they gave higher weight to the papers and lower weight to blogspam and reddit
I can tell Chatgpt to use scientific sources only, right? :)
