Stamirowska says reasoning shouldn't just be linguistic

Stamirowska says, 'We realized that reasoning shouldn't just be linguistic.' She says verbalizing things in chain-of-thought is not optimal: it involves 'gluing it on top of a transformer,' and transformers are naturally ill-suited to dealing with time and learning from experience.

These are individual perspectives, not a measure of consensus. Source material stays in its original language.

What Comes After Transformers?

Original excerpt

Specifically, we’re talking about continual learning, memory, and reasoning first. And as we moved through it, we realized that reasoning shouldn’t just be linguistic. Verbalizing things in chain of thought is not the optimal way to do reasoning. With chain of thought, we’re essentially gluing it on top of a transformer, and transformers are naturally ill-suited to dealing with time and learning from experience.
