Limitations of Language Models in Arithmetic and Symbolic Induction (2023.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent work has shown that large pretrained Language Models (LMs) can perform remarkably well on a range of NLP tasks but they have limitations on basic symbolic manipulation tasks such as copy, reverse, and addition. |
| Approach: | They propose to use explicit positional markers, fine-grained computation steps, and LMs with callable programs to teach large pretrained Language Models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can perform 100% accuracy in OOD and repeating symbols. |
