Giving AI a human-like limitation on memory may actually improve its ability to learn language. In a new proof-of-concept study, Abishek Thamma of the University of Amsterdam and Micha Heilbron of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics found that small language models with a short-lived memory learned grammar more effectively when trained on language input […]
