Generative AI & LLMs

Sequence-to-sequence model

AI that turns one ordered set of information into another, such as a sentence into its translation.

Example

AI turns a sentence in one language into a sentence in another.

Why people use it

It supports tasks where one sequence needs to become a different sequence.

What you'll hear

“Turn this spoken sentence into written words.”

What this means for you

Check that important details survive the change.

Can you control it?

Developer-only

The people building or running the AI choose this setup. An everyday user generally needs their help to change how this part works.

Common questions

Must the information it receives and result have the same length?
No. Sequence-to-sequence AI systems can produce a different number of result elements.
Can it work with things other than text?
Yes. Sequences can represent speech, measurements or other ordered information.
Can a small early mistake affect later parts?
It can, depending on how the system builds its final sequence.
