Page 18: Research news on Large language models

Large language models are high-capacity neural sequence models trained on massive text and multimodal corpora to perform language understanding, generation, and reasoning. Current work examines their internal representations, cognitive and social behavior analogies to humans, and limitations in mathematical, causal, and strategic reasoning. Research also addresses alignment with human values and brain activity, safety and security vulnerabilities, privacy and de-anonymization risks, cross-lingual and sociocultural biases, scaling and efficiency laws, and frameworks for tool use, multi-agent interaction, and domain-specific deployment.

Making AI-generated code more accurate in any language

Programmers can now use large language models (LLMs) to generate computer code more quickly. However, this only makes programmers' lives easier if that code follows the rules of the programming language and doesn't cause ...

Training LLMs to self-detoxify their language

As we mature from childhood, our vocabulary—as well as the ways we use it—grows, and our experiences become richer, allowing us to think, reason, and interact with others with specificity and intention. Accordingly, our ...

Small model approach could be more effective than LLMs

Small language models are more reliable and secure than their large counterparts, primarily because they draw information from a circumscribed dataset. Expect to see more chatbots running on these slimmed-down alternatives ...

Why AI can't take over creative writing

In 1948, the founder of information theory, Claude Shannon, proposed modeling language in terms of the probability of the next word in a sentence given the previous words. These types of probabilistic language models were ...

Researchers teach LLMs to solve complex planning challenges

Imagine a coffee company trying to optimize its supply chain. The company sources beans from three suppliers, roasts them at two facilities into either dark or light coffee, and then ships the roasted coffee to three retail ...
