On the generalization of language models from in-context learning and finetuning: a controlled study
Andrew K. Lampinen, Arslan Chaudhry, Stephanie C. Y. Chan +7
Large language models exhibit exciting capabilities, yet can show surprisingly narrow generalization from finetuning. E.g. they can fail to generalize to simple reversals of relati…
