The Pragmatic Mind of Machines: Tracing the Emergence of Pragmatic Competence in Large Language Models
Current large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated emerging capabilities in social intelligence tasks, including implicature resolution (Sravanthi et al. (2024)) and theory-of-mind reasoning (Shap...

Robert Hawkins@rdhawkins.bsky.social · last yr.Happy to announce the first workshop on Pragmatic Reasoning in Language Models — PragLM @ COLM 2025! 🎉 How do LLMs engage in pragmatic reasoning, and what core pragmatic capacities remain beyond their reach? 🌐 sites.google.com/berkeley.edu/praglm/ 📅 Submit by June 23rd
I just gave a virtual presentation at ACL 2025 on our work about the production–interpretation asymmetry in reference processing in LLMs. If you’re into computational psycholinguistics or the LLMs x cognitive science space, give it a read! aclanthology.org/2025.acl-sho... @robvoigt.bsky.social
