Software Engineering And Web Development Insights From Arrows Of Time

Large language models process text with a "forward-in-time" bias, influencing tasks like time series forecasting & zero-shot learning. Researchers explore how this temporal asymmetry affects LLM capabilities & limitations.

This is a Plain English Papers summary of a research paper called Arrows of Time for Large Language Models. If you like these kinds of analysis, you should subscribe to the AImodels.fyi newsletter or follow me on Twitter.

  
  
  Overview

This paper explores the concept of "arrows of time" in the context of large language models (LLMs), which are powerful AI systems trained on vast amounts of text data.
The authors investigate how the directionality of time affects the behavior and capabilities of LLMs, particularly in the realm of autoregressive modeling, where the model generates text one...
