Uncovering Autoregressive LLM Knowledge of Thematic Fit in Event Representation
Researchers have investigated the ability of autoregressive Large Language Models (LLMs) to understand thematic fit in event representation. Their study introduced new prompting strategies and found that while LLMs can achieve state-of-the-art results on thematic fit benchmarks, there are differences in performance between closed-weight and open-weight models. Specifically, closed models perform better overall and benefit from multi-step reasoning, but struggle with filtering out incompatible generated sentences. AI
