  1. A fine-grained comparison of pragmatic language understanding in humans and language models (2023 · 136 citations)
    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?».
  2. Log Probabilities Are a Reliable Estimate of Semantic Plausibility in Base and Instruction-Tuned Language Models (2024 · 29 citations)
    The paper asks whether explicit prompting or log probabilities (LogProbs) give a better measure of how much language models know about semantic plausibility, which serves as a proxy for world knowledge.
