Reliable Reasoning Beyond Natural Language
Nasim Borazjanizadeh, Steven T. Piantadosi
Despite their linguistic competence, Large Language Models (LLMs) often struggle to reason reliably and flexibly. To identify these shortcomings, we introduce the Non-Linear Reason…
How to enumerate trees from a context-free grammar
Steven T. Piantadosi
I present a simple algorithm for enumerating the trees generated by a Context Free Grammar (CFG). The algorithm uses a pairing function to form a bijection between CFG derivations…
Meaning without reference in large language models
Steven T. Piantadosi, Felix Hill
The widespread success of large language models (LLMs) has been met with skepticism that they possess anything like human concepts or meanings. Contrary to claims that LLMs possess…
One Model for the Learning of Language
Yuan Yang
A major target of linguistics and cognitive science has been to understand what class of learning systems can acquire the key structures of natural language. Until recently, the co…
How the Dimension of Space Affects the Products of Pre-Biotic Evolution: The Spatial Population Dynamics of Structural Complexity and The Emergence of Membranes
Steve T. Piantadosi, James P. Crutchfield
We show that autocatalytic networks of epsilon-machines and their population dynamics differ substantially between spatial (geographically distributed) and nonspatial (panmixia) po…
