Contextual trajectory and incremental contextual displacement: Towards using LLMs to understand dynamic, utterance-specific meaning construction
Grayson Wycliffe Storer, Julia Witte Zimmerman
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 o…
LLMs are not stochastic parrots: Evidence for meaning-mediated abstraction from conlang-like tasks
Julia Witte Zimmerman, Calla G. Beauregard, Tabia Tanzin Prama +3
The strong version of the stochastic parrot argument claims that, although large language models (LLMs) may exceed rote regurgitation, they cannot move beyond statistical pattern m…
Statistical laws and linguistics differ in naturalistic video and fictional conversations
Ashley M. A. Fehr, Calla G. Beauregard, Julia Witte Zimmerman +4
Conversation is a cornerstone of social connection and is linked to well-being outcomes. Conversations vary widely in type with some portion generating complex, dynamic stories. On…
Tokens, the oft-overlooked appetizer: Large language models, the distributional hypothesis, and meaning
Julia Witte Zimmerman, Denis Hudon, Kathryn Cramer +9
Tokenization is a necessary component within the current architecture of many language mod-els, including the transformer-based large language models (LLMs) of Generative AI, yet i…
A blind spot for large language models: Supradiegetic linguistic information
Julia Witte Zimmerman, Denis Hudon, Kathryn Cramer +5
Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT reflect profound changes in the field of Artificial Intelligence, achieving a linguistic fluency that is impressively, even shockingly, hu…
Ousiometrics: The essence of meaning aligns with a power-danger-structure framework instead of valence-arousal-dominance
P. S. Dodds, T. Alshaabi, M. I. Fudolig +7
From work emerging through the middle of the 20th century, the essence of meaning has become widely accepted as being described by the three orthogonal dimensions of valence, arous…
