Aspects of Large Language Models

Hosted by the Generalisation in Mind & Machine research group

Full details can be found on the Mind and Machine website: https://mindandmachine.blogs.bristol.ac.uk/seminars/

This talk will cover three things. First, I will present a short tutorial introduction to large language models (LLMs) and how they work. Then I will present some recent DeepMind work on solving multi-step reasoning problems using LLMs. Finally, I will discuss some philosophical issues related to LLMs and our temptation to anthropomorphise them, foregrounding the concept of role-play as an explanatory framing.
