A new paper defines structural generalization, a concept previously measured by benchmarks but lacking formal definition. The research posits that pure Transformers, limited to the TC^0 learnable class, cannot achieve structural generalization due to its NC^1-complete computational complexity. The paper suggests that neuro-symbolic systems perform better because they incorporate the semantic face of generalization, which pure Transformers struggle with, and that current benchmarks cannot distinguish between learned and provided generalization.
