LLMs' dynamic meaning construction analyzed via contextual trajectories

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new method to analyze how Large Language Models (LLMs) understand meaning as sentences unfold. By tracking changes in token embeddings as new words are added, they created 'contextual trajectories' that reveal how LLMs process ambiguity. This approach successfully distinguished between ambiguous 'garden-path' sentences and their disambiguated counterparts, indicating that meaning-related information is distributed across various representational scales within the model, not just at the sentence level.

IMPACT This research offers a novel framework for understanding how LLMs process language dynamically, potentially leading to more robust and interpretable models.

    Contextual trajectory and incremental contextual displacement: Towards using LLMs to understand dynamic, utterance-specific meaning construction

    arXiv:2610.00840v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transformer-based large language models (LLMs) such as RoBERTa represent text using contextual word embeddings (CWEs), which alter the embeddings associated with each token based on surrounding context. We construct token-wise inc…
