New Research Finds Language Models Show Significant Probabilistic Incoherence

A new paper explores the coherence of probabilistic forecasts made by language models, using a method based on de Finetti's theorem. Researchers found that language models exhibit significant incoherence in their probabilistic forecasts, particularly when events have complex logical relationships or when irrelevant details are introduced. The study suggests that current training strategies may need to be revised to improve the probabilistic coherence of these models. AI
