Summary

  • Adds docs/knowledge/machine-learning/from-nlp-to-llms-gpt-3-5.md, a rigorous, step-by-step
    article tracing the path from classical NLP (TF-IDF, embeddings) through RNN/LSTM, seq2seq
    attention, self-attention/multi-head attention, the Transformer block, encoder/decoder
    variants, causal masking, autoregressive pretraining, GPT, scaling laws (GPT-2 → GPT-3),
    instruction tuning, and RLHF, ending with the GPT-3 → GPT-3.5 → ChatGPT lineage.
  • Links the new article from docs/knowledge/machine-learning/index.md.

Test plan

  • pre-commit (trailing-whitespace, end-of-file-fixer, markdownlint) passes on the changed files.
  • mkdocs build --strict succeeds with no warnings.

Closes #31
