When Transformer models are more compositional than humans: The case of the depth charge illusion

2022-08-31

Abstract excerpt

<p>State-of-the-art Transformer-based language models like GPT-3 are very good at generating syntactically well-formed and semantically plausible text. However, it is unclear to what extent these models encode the compositional rules of human language and to what extent their impressive performance is due to the use of relatively shallow heuristics, which have also been argued to be a factor in human language proc...
