Abstract

This paper evaluates entity tracking in language models and humans, revealing that language models can achieve human-level tracking at significantly lower parameter counts than previously thought.

Reality Card

Core Claim

Entity tracking, a crucial aspect of language understanding, emerges in language models with as few as 410 million parameters and surpasses human performance in naturalistic narratives.

Method / Result

Human-level entity tracking is present at 410 million parameters.

Limitations

The study relies on naturalistic narratives, which may not fully capture all aspects of entity tracking in varied contexts.
