Linguistic Capability

Linguistic capability research focuses on understanding and evaluating the ability of both humans and artificial intelligence (AI) models to process and generate language. Current research investigates the linguistic abilities of large language models (LLMs), using various benchmarks and probing techniques to assess their performance across diverse tasks, including reasoning, translation, and creative writing, often comparing them to human capabilities and exploring model architectures like transformers. These studies are significant for advancing our understanding of human language processing and for improving the reliability and capabilities of AI systems, with implications for applications ranging from education and healthcare to communication and accessibility technologies.
