Melanie MitchellOne of my new years resolutions is to blog (from time to time) about interesting work in AI. I'm trying out Substack for this. My first post is a perspective on recent paper by Webb et al., "Emergent Analogical Reasoning in Large Language Models".
Matt Slocombe@melaniemitchell Super interesting post. Regarding four-term verbal problems, I wonder how useful these are as tests of generalisation in models like GPT-3. From my understanding, GPT-3’s architecture and training might make it more adept than humans at generating solutions via non-relational associative strategies. If GPT-3 is generating solutions via associative strategies, is that really generalisation / analogical reasoning?
