AI总结:

本文探讨 GPT-3 在成文法推理任务上的能力,使用 SARA 数据集测试多种提示方法,虽优于先前结果,但在简单合成成文法上表现不佳,揭示其推理局限。

摘要:

成文法推理是根据事实和成文法(由立法机关用自然语言书写的规则)进行推理的任务,是一项基本的法律技能。在本文中,我们探讨了能力最强的 GPT-3 模型 text-davinci-003 在既有成文法推理数据集 SARA 上的表现。我们考虑了多种方法,包括动态少样本提示、思维链提示和零样本提示。虽然我们使用 GPT-3 取得的结果优于先前已发表的最佳结果,但我们也识别出它犯下的几类明显错误。我们调查了这些错误发生的原因。我们发现,GPT-3 对 SARA 所依据的美国实际成文法具有不完善的前置知识。更重要的是,我们创建了简单的合成成文法,确保 GPT-3 在训练期间未曾见过这些成文法。我们发现,GPT-3 在回答有关这些简单合成成文法的直接问题时表现不佳。

英文摘要:

Statutory reasoning is the task of reasoning with facts and statutes, which are rules written in natural language by a legislature. It is a basic legal skill. In this paper we explore the capabilities of the most capable GPT-3 model, text-davinci-003, on an established statutory-reasoning dataset called SARA. We consider a variety of approaches, including dynamic few-shot prompting, chain-of-thought prompting, and zero-shot prompting. While we achieve results with GPT-3 that are better than the previous best published results, we also identify several types of clear errors it makes. We investigate why these errors happen. We discover that GPT-3 has imperfect prior knowledge of the actual U.S. statutes on which SARA is based. More importantly, we create simple synthetic statutes, which GPT-3 is guaranteed not to have seen during training. We find GPT-3 performs poorly at answering straightforward questions about these simple synthetic statutes.
