How do LLMs interpret expressions of linguistic uncertainty such as "highly unlikely"? Short answer: pretty well .... unless they have relevant prior knowledge. Details in our EMNLP paper aclanthology.org/2024.emnlp-m... (with Kat Belem, Markelle Kelly, Mark Steyvers, @sameer-singh.bsky.social).

Taking a stand that we aren’t doing the #nlproc tag here. It’s #nlp. We used #nlproc because a decade ago the #nlp tag was full of sleazy scammers selling guides for hypnotizing women into sleeping with you.

But guess what? We won. All the sleazy scammers are doing natural language processing now.
