Q6. What is conditional text generation with regards to LLMs?

Conditional text generation refers to the process of generating textual content using a language model while conditioning the generation on specific input or context. In conditional text generation, the generated text is influenced or guided by the provided conditions or context, which can be in the form of prompts, constraints, or additional information. This approach allows you to control and customize the content generated by the model to meet specific requirements or expectations.

Conditional text generation can be applied in various natural language processing (NLP) tasks and applications. Some common use cases and examples include:

  2. Content Generation: Conditional text generation is used to generate content such as product descriptions, marketing copy, or creative writing while incorporating specific keywords or themes.

  3. Translation: You can condition text generation on the source language to generate translations into a target language.

  4. Question Answering: In question answering systems, the model generates answers based on the provided questions.

  5. Text Summarization: For abstractive summarization, the model generates concise summaries while taking the source document into account.

  6. Text Completion and Generation: In text completion tasks, you can provide a partial sentence or text, and the model generates the missing part while maintaining consistency with the context.

  7. Text Style Transfer: Conditional generation can be used to change the style or tone of a given text while preserving its meaning.

  8. Custom Content: You can condition the text generation on specific attributes, instructions, or constraints to generate text tailored to particular criteria.

Conditional text generation typically involves using a pre-trained language model (such as a transformer-based model like GPT-3 or GPT-4) and providing input that guides the generation process. The input can be in the form of a prompt, a context, or specific tokens that help the model understand the context and produce relevant output. This approach allows for fine-grained control over the generated text, making it a valuable tool in various NLP applications.
