DESCRIPTION:The scientific innovation in natural language processing (NLP)
  is at its fastest pace to date\, driven by advances in large language mod
 els (LLMs). LLMs power multipurpose chatbots\, search engines and coding a
 ssistants\, unleashing a new era of automation.\n\nIn this talk\, I will a
 ttempt to give you a sense of how and to what extent LLMs learn about lang
 uage. I will show that they can retain remarkable capabilities even by tra
 ining them under extreme settings\, i.e. to perform tasks that might be co
 mpletely incomprehensible to or impossible for humans.
