A new research paper explores the impact of restricted evidence visibility on compositional generalization in multi-module language models. The study trained ten pairs of language model societies, with one group having restricted communication channels and the other having global visibility. The restricted societies consistently outperformed their globally visible counterparts, demonstrating a significant advantage in function-composition tasks. This suggests that limiting communication can increase the probability of a generalizing relay and favor a reusable interface, though the overall system did not meet the preregistered performance floor.

IMPACT Suggests that architectural constraints can improve compositional generalization in LLMs, potentially influencing future model design.
