The limits of my language are the limits of my mind. — Ludwig Wittgenstein
The true art of memory is the art of attention. — Samuel Johnson
Language is one of the most important capabilities of human beings; it enables us to communicate and transfer knowledge, and it is considered a pillar of civilization. That is why the incredible capabilities displayed by Large Language Models (LLMs) have astounded the world, and made it ask the question: are they intelligent?
All this has been achieved by huge amounts of text and a simple learning function: predicting the next word in a sequence. The model behind this success is the Transformer, and today modern derived LLMs are currently used by a large segment of the population for tasks such as translation, summarization, question answering, or generating articles.
