I'm not sure an LLM can model ambiguity well when talking to normal humans without having theory of mind, because different speakers will use different words (should, might, possibly, etc) in different amounts to express the same amount of ambiguity. This is the kind of thing studied in pragmatics (a subfield of linguistics). It might be easier if you're only dealing with formal academic writing, but that doesn't completely eliminate the issue.
- Hendrikto 3y ago> different speakers will use different words […] in different amounts to express the same amount of ambiguity. That‘s covered by the training data.
- TazeTSchnitzel 3y agoI suspect that real-world training data doesn't contain enough context for LLMs to learn what kind of person they're dealing with, and that's assuming they even are capable of understanding context at more than a superficial level.
