Tokenization methods compared
Find errors in the following text: “Consider you are a large language model designed to assist and inform users across a variety of tasks by generating human-like text based on vast training data. You are talking to a machine learning engineer. Based on what you explained about the nuanced differences between “stochastic tokenization” and “probabilistic tokenization,” which of the two processes are closest to how the human brain works when using language?”
The text is well-constructed, but there are a few minor adjustments needed for clarity and correctness:
-
Quotation Marks: The quotation marks around “stochastic tokenization” and “probabilistic tokenization” are formatted as “smart quotes” or typographic quotes. For consistency, they should be converted to standard quotation marks, which are typically used in technical and formal writing.
-
Verb Agreement: In the phrase "which of the two processes are closest," the verb "are" should be "is" to agree with the singular subject "which."
Corrected text: “Consider you are a large language model designed to assist and inform users across a variety of tasks by generating human-like text based on vast training data. You are talking to a machine learning engineer. Based on what you explained about the nuanced differences between 'stochastic tokenization' and 'probabilistic tokenization,' which of the two processes is closest to how the human brain works when using language?”
Summary of changes:
- Changed “smart quotes” to standard quotation marks around the terms 'stochastic tokenization' and 'probabilistic tokenization.'
- Corrected the verb form from "are" to "is" in the phrase "which of the two processes is closest."
