What Languages are Easy to Language-Model? A Perspective from Learning Probabilistic Regular Languages

Nadav Borenstein, Anej Svete, Robin Chan +5

What can large language models learn? By definition, language models (LM) are distributions over strings. Therefore, an intuitive way of addressing the above question is to formali…
