Title: Testing GPT4's interpretation of the Caused-Motion Construction Abstract: The fields of Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing have been revolutionized by the advent of Large Language Models such as GPT4. They are perceived as being language experts and there is a lot of speculation about how intelligent they are, with claims being made about “Sparks of General Artificial Intelligence.” This talk will describe in detail an English linguistic construction, the Caused Motion Construction, and compare prior interpretation approaches with current LLM interpretations. The prior approaches are based on VerbNet. It’s unique contributions to prior approaches will be outlined. Then the results of a recent preliminary study probing GPT4’s analysis of the same constructions will be presented. Not surprisingly, this analysis illustrates both strengths and weaknesses of GPT4’s ability to interpret Caused Motion Constructions and to generalize this interpretation. |
