LLMs show limited success in Cantonese grammar engineering, study finds

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new research paper explores the utility of large language models (LLMs) for grammar engineering, specifically focusing on Cantonese. The study utilized new Cantonese ParGram resources and compared the performance of OpenAI's GPT-OSS 120B and GPT-5.4 models. While GPT-5.4 showed better results, both models struggled with coordinating complex formal constraints in grammar generation, indicating that human linguistic expertise remains crucial for grammar development.

IMPACT LLMs show potential for assisting in grammar development, but human expertise remains essential for complex linguistic tasks.
