Language Models Wrestle with Gaps in Understanding

Communications of the ACM

Membership in ACM includes a subscription to Communications of the ACM (CACM), the computing industry's most trusted source for staying connected to the world of advanced computing. Language models seem to be more than stochastic parrots. Does this knowledge stop them from making mistakes, or do they need more help? If you want a job done well, you are probably better off not using a language model to do it. Thanks to the internal connections they create from terabytes of data ingested during pretraining, they produce results that can seem like rudimentary reasoning.
