If we understood AI systems better, we might be in a better position to address biases, e.g., by ensuring that LLM follow correct grammatical rules rather than treat them as simple statistical biases on a par with the statistical demands that lead to various stereotypes.

Simple: understanding is key.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testifies before U.S. Senate: live cnb.cx/3WaNvDi Of course, understanding is key. For ex. you can't hope to address bias without talking about the underlying sources of statistical regularities. (See the following, inspired by @HadasKotek )

"...discovering that LLMs teach us about how humans work would be startling, akin to discovering that a newly designed drone accidentally solves an open problem in avian flight." Note by @roni_katzir on the limits of the language modeling paradigm, despite recent claims.

A paper by @spiantado claims that “Modern language models refute Chomsky’s approach to language.” I wrote a short reply explaining why they do no such thing. ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/007190

New paper with @_Danny_Fox on distributive inferences - the inferences that speakers draw from a sentence like “every student is French or Spanish” that some student is French and some student is Spanish. (1/3)

🗞️ New paper on Lingbuzz with Emmanuel Chemla & @roni_katzir: How much of our linguistic knowledge is innate? We test four neural networks, including GPT-3, on key aspects of syntactic dependencies and find that all four models fail. ling.auf.net/lingbuzz/006829 1/3 >>

New paper on Lingbuzz with @roni_katzir. Many languages have simple words for "and" and "or". Some have words (usually complex) for "nor" (= “not or”). None have a word for "not and". 🧵

Can iterated rationality lead to strengthening when grammatical exhaustification doesn't? Read my new paper w/ @_Danny_Fox and @roni_katzir to find out. (Spoiler: No. When exhaustification does not apply, strengthening does not arise.)

New paper, with Paul Marty and Jacopo Romoli. Quick summary: we run two experiments to compare selectional (Stalnaker-style) views and homogeneity views of conditionals. Selectional views come out on top. semanticsarchive.net/Archive/jgwZDc…

These are very hard systems to understand. One can view this paper as an attempt to report on our efforts.

New paper with @_Danny_Fox with our best attempt to evaluate models of iterated probabilistic reasoning and whether they can replace traditional grammatical explanation of semantic/pragmatic phenomena.
