VerifiedDuring training, LLMs optimize parameters by maximizing the prediction probability of the next token, meaning the model learns the statistical distribution of the training corpus rather than human aesthetic judgment.81% similarVerifiedLLMs are fundamentally probability distribution systems trained on massive amounts of text, where each output is a sampling of the next most likely token rather than retrieval and reasoning based on real-world knowledge.77% similarUnverifiedLLM-Blender 通过训练专用排序模型 PairRanker 来评估多个 LLM 的候选输出并融合最优结果76% similar
