Large Language Model

An AI system trained on vast amounts of text data that can understand and generate human language for various applications.

Detailed Definition

A Large Language Model (LLM) is an artificial intelligence system trained on massive text datasets to understand, generate, and work with human language. LLMs power modern AI assistants and document processing tools.

Capabilities: - Natural language understanding - Text generation and summarization - Question answering - Translation and paraphrasing - Code generation - Document analysis

Applications in mining and land management

Document processing: - Extracting information from deeds and legal documents - Summarizing lengthy reports - Answering questions about document contents - Translating technical terminology

Research assistance: - Answering regulatory questions - Explaining complex procedures - Drafting correspondence - Summarizing research findings

Data extraction: - Parsing unstructured text - Identifying entities (names, dates, locations) - Extracting legal descriptions - Converting narrative to structured data

Knowledge management: - Creating searchable documentation - Answering employee questions - Training material development - Procedure documentation

Examples of LLMs: - GPT-4 (OpenAI) - Claude (Anthropic) - Gemini (Google) - LLaMA (Meta)

Considerations: - Accuracy verification required - Privacy and confidentiality - Domain-specific fine-tuning - Integration with existing systems

LLMs are increasingly used to automate document-heavy workflows in title research and land management.
