Explaining and Tuning Transformer-based LLMs in Arithmetic Tasks with Human Strategies
Luyu Qiu, Jianing Li, Hwanhee Kim, Xiaoyong Wei, Yueyuan Zheng, Janet Hsiao, et al.
Transformer-based large language models (LLMs) continue to achieve state-of-the-art performance across various natural language processing tasks. However, their subpar performance on seemingly elementary problems, such as basic arithmetic, raises concerns about model reliability,…
