Papers
- A fine-grained comparison of pragmatic language understanding in humans and language models (2023)
Seven pragmatic phenomena (white lies, indirect requests, irony, flouted maxims, metaphor, humour, coherence) are tested with expert-written multiple-choice items: a 1–3 sentence story, a character's utterance, and «what did they mean?». - Expectations over Unspoken Alternatives Predict Pragmatic Inferences (2023)
Scalar inferences ("some" implies "not all") vary a lot from one instance to another, and across scales such as "good, excellent".
