Biasless Language Models Learn Unnaturally: How LLMs Fail to Distinguish the Possible from the Impossible (2026.eacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | linguists have discovered patterns which hold across virtually all known natural languages . lingulists are able to learn languages by comparing their learning curves to those of humans . |
| Approach: | They compare LLM learning curves on existing and "impossible" datasets . they find that GPT-2 learns each language and its impossible counterpart equally easily . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model learns each language and its impossible counterpart equally easily, the study shows . the study also shows that the proposed model does not provide any kind of separation between the possible and the impossible . |
