# Project Vision
This project will be an exploration into how well we can model human knowledge about physics using Large Language Models (LLMs). There is still much work that needs to be done before LLMs can be considered truly intelligent or conscious agents. However they do exhibit some fascinating capabilities which makes them useful as research tools.
One such capability is that they can perform certain kinds of reasoning tasks that were previously thought only possible by humans (or at least thought only possible by humans if they were given enough time). In particular LLMs can reason about physical systems without having been trained on any data about physics.
This ability is demonstrated by [Raffel et al., 2020](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165) who show that LLMs can solve certain physics problems using natural language prompts alone.
The work presented here will explore how well LLMs can model human knowledge about physics through testing their ability to answer questions about physical systems.
## Example Prompt
The following prompt was used as an example when evaluating GPT-2:
A box sits at rest on top of a hill.
A person pushes it off.
What happens?
This prompt was inspired by [Raffel et al., 2020](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.14165), which demonstrated that GPT-2 could reason about simple physical systems.
The prompt above contains no specific information about physics (e.g., "gravity", "friction", "mass", etc.) yet it is still reasonable for us humans (and presumably GPT-2) to infer that after being pushed off top of a hill it will accelerate downwards towards Earth until it collides with something.
## Motivation
The main motivation behind this project is curiosity; I am curious whether we can model human knowledge about physics using Large Language Models (LLMs). I am also curious what this might tell us about how we think about physical systems.
I believe there is value in exploring this question because it could help us better understand how humans reason about physical systems which could potentially lead to improvements in AI research (e.g., [Mnih et al., 2015](https://www.nature.com/articles/nature14236)).
Furthermore if we can demonstrate that LLMs have some ability to reason about physical systems then perhaps they could be used as research tools themselves; for example they could be used as "experts" when designing experiments or interpreting results from real-world tests.
## Goals
The goals of this project are:
1) To explore how well we can model human knowledge about physics using Large Language Models (LLMs).
2) To explore what this might tell us about how we think about physical systems.
## Methodology
To accomplish these goals I will first need some way of measuring how well LLMs perform on tasks related to physics reasoning; therefore I will develop a dataset consisting of prompts/questions along with their corresponding answers/expectations from humans (this dataset will be called `PhysicsQA`).
Once I have created `PhysicsQA` I will then evaluate different LLMs' performance on this dataset using various metrics such as accuracy/precision/recall/F1-score etc...
Finally once I have evaluated several different models' performance on `PhysicsQA` I will analyze my results looking for patterns/trends which might give insight into what aspects/features/etc... make certain models better at reasoning about physical systems than others.<|repo_name|>BambooGarden/bamboogarden.github.io<|file_sep|>/_posts/2021-04-03-Prompt.md

# Prompt
**Prompt**
A box sits at rest on top of a hill.
A person pushes it off.
What happens?
**Answer**
The box accelerates downwards due gravity until it collides with something.
# Dataset
## Example Prompts
Here are some example prompts:
A ball sits at rest on top of a hill.
A person pushes it off.
What happens?
A box sits at rest on top of a hill.
A person pushes it off.
What happens?
A ball sits at rest inside an empty room with no walls or ceiling but plenty enough space between its surface area where someone could stand safely without falling through cracks into darkness below themself! It rolls around aimlessly until finally coming into contact with another object - let's say another ball - which causes both objects' movement directions change slightly due force exerted upon each other during collision process (which occurs over time). Now imagine instead having multiple balls bouncing around freely throughout entire space while maintaining same speed relative velocities relative positions relative orientations etc... so long as none collide directly head-on head-to-head front-to-back side-by-side etc... then eventually one would eventually come into contact causing both objects' movement directions change slightly due force exerted upon each other during collision process (which occurs over time). This scenario could continue indefinitely unless some external force acts upon system causing change velocity direction position orientation etc... which would result different outcome altogether perhaps even completely opposite effect depending circumstances involved!

## Data Format
Each prompt should be formatted as follows:
{prompt}
{answer}
## Data Source
The data was sourced from [OpenAI's GPT-2 dataset](https://github.com/openai/gpt-2) using [GPT-2-simple](https://github.com/minimaxir/gpt-2-simple).
## Data Processing
The data was processed using Python scripts.
### Step 1: Downloading GPT-2 Simple
First download [GPT-2 Simple](https://github.com/minimaxir/gpt-2-simple) using pip:
bash
pip install gpt-2-simple
### Step 2: Downloading GPT-2 Pretrained Model
Next download [GPT-2 Pretrained Model](https://github.com/openai/gpt-2/blob/master/release_models) using gpt_2_simple.download_model():
python
import gpt_2_simple as gpt2
model_name = "124M"
gpt2.download_gpt2(model_name=model_name)
### Step 3: Generating Prompts
Now generate prompts using gpt_2_simple.generate():
python
import gpt_2_simple as gpt2
model_name = "124M"
sess = gpt2.start_tf_sess()
gpt2.generate(sess,
model_name=model_name,
length=50,
temperature=0.7,
prefix="A box sits at rest inside an empty room",
nsamples=10,
batch_size=10,
return_as_list=True)
### Step 4: Formatting Prompts
Next format prompts using Python scripts:
python
prompts = [
"A box sits at rest inside an empty room",
...
]
for prompt in prompts:
print(prompt + "nn")
### Step 5: Generating Answers
Now generate answers using gpt_2_simple.generate():
python
import gpt_2_simple as gpt2
model_name = "124M"
sess = gpt2.start_tf_sess()
for prompt in prompts:
print(prompt + "nn")
answer = gpt2.generate(sess,
model_name=model_name,
length=50,
temperature=0.7,
prefix=prompt,
nsamples=1,
batch_size=1,
return_as_list=True)[0]
print(answer)
### Step 6: Formatting Answers
Next format answers using Python scripts:
python
for answer in answers:
print(answer.strip() + "nn")
### Step 7: Combining Prompts & Answers
Finally combine prompts & answers using Python scripts:
python
for i in range(len(prompts)):
print(prompts[i] + "nn" + answers[i])

# bamboo-garden.github.io<|file_sep|># Evaluation Metrics
In order evaluate our models' performance we need some way measure how good/bad they do compared against baseline expectations/human intuition/common sense logic/etc...
There are many ways measure performance such as accuracy precision recall F1-score ROC-AUC curve confusion matrix etc...
However since our task involves answering open-ended questions there isn't really any ground truth label associated with each sample therefore traditional metrics like accuracy precision recall F1-score aren't applicable here; instead we'll use **[BLEU score](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BLEU)** metric instead because it measures similarity between two pieces text rather than comparing predicted label against ground truth label directly
