About this paper

Jacob Andreas, Dan Klein, Sergey Levine

The paper proposes Learning with Latent Language (L3), a meta-learning approach that uses natural language as a latent parameter space to represent tasks. This method improves few-shot learning generalization and efficiency across visual reasoning, string editing, and reinforcement learning domains.

Key insights

  • Natural language provides a rich source of information about human abstractions, offering a powerful and generalizable inductive bias for machine learning systems.
  • Operating in a discrete, compositional language space enables models to better capture and generalize to novel concepts, improving sample efficiency.
  • Language can serve as an effective internal, latent hypothesis space for tasks, even when no explicit language data is available during concept learning.
