Prof. Subbarao Kambhampati - LLMs don't reason, they memorize (ICML2024 2/13)
Manage episode 431312769 series 2803422
Prof. Subbarao Kambhampati argues that while LLMs are impressive and useful tools, especially for creative tasks, they have fundamental limitations in logical reasoning and cannot provide guarantees about the correctness of their outputs. He advocates for hybrid approaches that combine LLMs with external verification systems.
