Abstract

We stand on the brink of many rapid advancements in the field of computational linguistics and natural language processing, and arguably one of the most important has been the development of large language models. While the availability of data and increases in computational power have played a crucial role in the development of these models, they do not learn language in the same way as a human child. Nevertheless, they excel at learning fairly complex grammatical knowledge in several languages. This often leads to public opinion that says, the problem of machines learning language has been 'solved'. In this talk I discuss why this idea might be premature, highlighting some recent research on these topics.
