Modeling Language with Thought Gestalts
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •Proposes the Thought Gestalt (TG) model, a novel architecture for language modeling.
- •TG models language at token and sentence levels, inspired by cognitive science.
- •Demonstrates improved efficiency and reduced errors on relational tasks compared to GPT-2.
- •Addresses limitations of standard Transformer models in terms of relational understanding and data efficiency.
“TG consistently improves efficiency over matched GPT-2 runs, among other baselines, with scaling fits indicating GPT-2 requires ~5-8% more data and ~33-42% more parameters to match TG's loss.”
