Should we care whether AI systems have representations of the world that are similar to those of humans? We provide an information-theoretic analysis that suggests that there …
Abstract Large Language Models (LLMs), such as the General Pre-trained Transformer (GPT), have shown remarkable performance in various cognitive tasks. However, it remains …
Large language models (LLMs), such as the General Pre-trained Transformer (GPT), have shown remarkable performance in various cognitive tasks. However, it remains unclear …
Human similarity judgments are a powerful supervision signal for machine learning applications based on techniques such as contrastive learning, information retrieval, and …
Neural network models of language have long been used as a tool for developing hypotheses about conceptual representation in the mind and brain. For many years, such …
Recent advances in multimodal training use textual descriptions to significantly enhance machine understanding of images and videos. Yet, it remains unclear to what extent …
Does language help make sense of the visual world? How important is it to actually see the world rather than having it described with words? These basic questions about the nature of …
How can we build AI systems that can learn any set of individual human values both quickly and safely, avoiding causing harm or violating societal standards for acceptable behavior …
Amidst the sharp rise in the evaluation of large language models (LLMs) on various tasks, we find that semantic textual similarity (STS) has been under-explored. In this study, we …
