Abstract: The emergence of large language models has prompted a surge of interest into theoretical models that might give us insight into both their successes and their shortcomings. We'll give an overview of recent work in this direction, focusing on a surprising line of positive results that shows it is possible to give guarantees for language-generation algorithms even in the absence of any probabilistic assumptions, in a framework known as "language generation in the limit". These results suggest interesting notions…
