Logical Discrete Graphical Models Must Supplement Large Language Models for Information Synthesis
<|reference_start|>Logical Discrete Graphical Models Must Supplement Large Language Models for Information Synthesis: Given the emergent reasoning abilities of large language models, information retrieval is becoming more complex. Rather than just retrieve a document, modern information retrieval systems advertise that they can synthesize an answer based on potentially many different documents, conflicting data sources, and using reasoning. We review recent literature and argue that the large language model has crucial flaws that prevent it from on its own ever constituting general intelligence, or answering general information synthesis requests. This review shows that the following are problems for large language models: hallucinations, complex reasoning, planning under uncertainty, and complex calculations. We outline how logical discrete graphical models can solve all of these problems, and outline a method of training a logical discrete model from unlabeled text.<|reference_end|>
