**TLDR:** A foundational NLP problem focused on learning the probability structure of language sequences in order to predict next or missing units.

<p>Language modeling is one of the foundational learning objectives at the center of modern NLP. The goal is to learn the patterns by which word or token sequences occur. This objective has broad implications, from generative models to representation learning. Much of the power of today’s large language models comes from solving this basic problem at massive scale.</p>
