UCLA Study Reveals Language Models (like GPT-3) Transforming Analogical Problem-Solving for HR. They are starting to think like a human!
In a ground-breaking stride towards HR Excellence, a recent UCLA study resonates profoundly with HR professionals. Highlighted in Nature Human Behaviour, this research illuminates how LLMs like GPT-3 surpass mimicry, thinking akin to humans through analogical reasoning.
Pitting GPT-3 (in text-DaVinci-003 version) against human reasoners, the study encompassed a spectrum of analogical tasks central to HR dynamics.
Tasks spanned from text-based matrix reasoning to visual analogies. GPT-3’s prowess stemmed from a rich real-world language dataset honed to predict the subsequent word in a sequence.
These tasks were categorized thoughtfully, mirroring HR scenarios where analogical reasoning thrives:
1. Text-based matrix reasoning challenges
2. Letter-string analogies
3. Four-term verbal analogies
4. Story analogies
GPT-3 dazzled researchers, often outshining humans in comprehending intricate patterns. Glimpses of GPT-4 hint at even greater potential as these AI models master a diverse spectrum of analogy puzzles.
Text-DaVinci-003, intriguingly, excelled in analogy tasks. Earlier model versions showcased promise in specific contexts, indicating a fusion of elements amplifying their analogical acumen.
GPT-3 adeptly handled letter string analogies, verbal analogies, and discerning analogies within narratives – sans specific training. These revelations illuminate how evolved language models like GPT-3 reimagine HR strategies and decision-making, applying analogical finesse to challenges.
For HR professionals, these insights unveil AI’s multidimensional role in refining our field. They beckon us to explore how advanced language models augment problem-solving, innovation, and decision-making through the potential of analogical reasoning.
