Explore a thought-provoking talk by Tal Linzen on the potential of language models to learn semantics, regardless of how it's defined. Delve into the concept of learning meaning from form, examining an ideal language model and entailment semantics. Investigate Gricean speakers and analyze assumptions needed to prove the theorem. Discover experiments in toy settings and the MNLI experiment, while considering limitations such as the no-redundancy assumption. Evaluate how close practical language models can get to the ideal and discuss the ability of language models to refer. Gain valuable insights into the intersection of linguistics, semantics, and artificial intelligence in this engaging 26-minute presentation from the Santa Fe Institute.
