Language Models Defy Logic: Large NLP models struggle with logical reasoning.

Who would disagree that, if all people are mortal and Socrates is a person, Socrates must be mortal? GPT-3, for one. Recent work shows that bigger language models are not necessarily better when it comes to logical reasoning.

Trillions of Parameters: Are AI models with trillions of parameters the new normal?

The trend toward ever-larger models crossed the threshold from immense to ginormous. Google kicked off 2021 with Switch Transformer, the first published work to exceed a trillion parameters, weighing in at 1.6 trillion.

Perceptrons Are All You Need: Google Brain's Multi-Layer Perceptron Rivals Transformers

The paper that introduced the transformer famously declared, “Attention is all you need.” To the contrary, new work shows you may not need transformer-style attention at all.What’s new: Hanxiao Liu and colleagues at Google
