Language model

As explained in Machine Learning for Tabular Data: XGBoost, Deep Learning, and AI

A large language model is a machine-learning model trained on large text corpora to understand and generate language sequences.

A large language model is trained on large text corpora to understand and generate language sequences. It can generate text, extract information, classify meaning, transform wording, and answer questions. section 1.5

For data work, language models act as practical assistants: they can engineer features from textual columns, write Python processing functions and regular expressions, interpret results, and summarize reports. section 1.5

Text columns in a dataset

A model can summarize customer comments, categorize them, identify themes, generate processing code, and support analysis of a CSV with preprocessing, charts, and report generation. section 1.5

How Machine Learning for Tabular Data: XGBoost, Deep Learning, and AI covers it

How deep it goes
Explains major task categories and practical analytics uses, but does not detail training procedures or model internals.
Examples
Uses textual dataset fields, Python functions, regular expressions, CSV files, charts, tables, and generated analytical reports as concrete applications.
What you can do after
Apply it via ChatGPT's Advanced Data Analytics API to preprocess, analyze, visualize, and summarize CSV data.
How it connects
Connects language models with feature engineering, named entity recognition, text classification, summarization, Python, visualization, and data analysis.
