MIT paper questions LLM's semantic reasoning capabilities

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A recent MIT paper suggests that Large Language Models (LLMs) are not achieving the connectionist dream of semantic nets, despite vast training data. The paper indicates that LLMs, while capable of text generation, struggle to perform symbolic semantic reasoning, a goal that connectionist approaches also failed to fully realize. AI

IMPACT Questions the fundamental capabilities of current LLMs in achieving true semantic understanding.

    @ jhlagado The LLM dream is that in addition to the random text generation, the vectors in their insanely high-dimensional token spaces would connectionistically converge on semantic nets, and they'd have AI. But a recent MIT paper pointed out that no matter how much training dat…
