Generative AI
Generative AI is a technology that creates content such as text,
images, audio, and video based on user input (the prompt).
Generative AI operates using a model as its engine, which is created
by applying machine learning techniques to vast amounts of data. In
widely used commercial generative AI tools, users typically interact
with these models through a chat interface.
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Natural Language Processing (NLP) as a field utilizes computers
to understand, interpret, and generate human language (text or
speech). There are various types of NLP tasks, including syntactic
analysis (parsing), machine translation, named entity recognition,
and speech recognition. The functionality performed by generative
AI like chatbots—generating natural, contextually appropriate text
by learning massive amounts of text data—can also be understood
as an example of natural language processing.
Large Language Model (LLM)
A Large Language Model (LLM) is an artificial intelligence model that
learns to interpret or generate text by training on vast amounts of
text data. As the core technology of generative AI, an LLM typically
utilizes an artificial neural network with billions of parameters
(connection weights) to learn complex patterns between words
within sentences. For example, it analyzes context to complete
