Regional Forest Types - Tropical Dry Forests
Tropical dry forests occur in nearly every tropical country. This forest type provides critical habitat for large mammals and migratory birds, and patches of dry forest can support a high proportion of endemic plant and animal species, as well as being highly valued for agricultural and production forestry uses. Consequently, conservation and understanding of these forests need emphasis, yet conservationists and scientists still frequently overlook this ecosystem
Reasoning about Ambiguous Definite Descriptions
Natural language reasoning plays an increasingly important role in improving
language models' ability to solve complex language understanding tasks. An
interesting use case for reasoning is the resolution of context-dependent
ambiguity. But no resources exist to evaluate how well Large Language Models
can use explicit reasoning to resolve ambiguity in language. We propose to use
ambiguous definite descriptions for this purpose and create and publish the
first benchmark dataset consisting of such phrases. Our method includes all
information required to resolve the ambiguity in the prompt, which means a
model does not require anything but reasoning to do well. We find this to be a
challenging task for recent LLMs. Code and data available at:
