Blackbird language matrices (BLM), a new task for rule-like generalization in neural networks: Motivations and Formal Specifications

Paola Merlo

We motivate and formally define a new task for fine-tuning rule-like generalization in large language models. It is conjectured that the shortcomings of current LLMs are due to a l…

Blackbird's language matrices (BLMs): a new benchmark to investigate disentangled generalisation in neural networks

Paola Merlo, Aixiu An, Maria A. Rodriguez

Current successes of machine learning architectures are based on computationally expensive algorithms and prohibitively large amounts of data. We need to develop tasks and data to…
