(2023). The advancements in natural language processing (NLP) have been greatly influenced by transformer-based models like ChatGPT and BERT. Although both are built on the transformer architecture, they serve different purposes and exhibit unique strengths. This blog post explores the mathematical foundations, architectural differences, and performance capabilities of these two models, integrating insights from the recent comparative study by Zhong et al. (2023).
