测试大模型对关系、否定和数字逻辑的生成能力,发现表现远低于人类预期。
Relations, Negations, and Numbers: Looking for Logic in Generative Text-to-Image Models
- 用逻辑提示词测试DALL-E 3,评估图像生成是否符合逻辑关系
- 否定和超过3个的数字提示失败率最高,平均匹配率不足50%
- 改进的结构化生成方案反而表现更差,凸显逻辑理解瓶颈
尽管多模态人工智能取得显著进展,但在逻辑运算的可靠应用上,现代AI仍远落后于人类儿童。本文研究了三种逻辑操作:关系、否定与离散数字。我们让178名受试者评估DALL-E 3在逻辑探针提示下的生成图像,发现其人类一致率均未超过50%。否定提示与大于3的数字提示失败最频繁。第四项实验评估了一种基于提示工程与结构化中间表示的“具身扩散”流程,但其表现反而劣于DALL-E 3。通过多个辅助分析,我们量化了关系提示的N-gram频率与图像匹配度的关系、不同否定提示修改策略的成功率,以及涉及整数提示的近似计数能力(比例依赖性)。研究指出,依赖向量语义或语法约束不足的多模态系统存在根本局限,并提出基于认知发展与图像表征的最小改进方案,以缩小规模与结构间的组合鸿沟。所有数据与代码已公开于https://github.com/ColinConwell/T2I-Probology。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Despite remarkable progress in multi-modal AI research, there is a salient domain in which modern AI continues to lag considerably behind even human children: the reliable deployment of logical operators. Here, we examine three forms of logical operators: relations, negations, and discrete numbers. We asked human respondents (N=178 in total) to evaluate images generated by a state-of-the-art image-generating AI (DALL-E 3) prompted with these `logical probes', and find that none reliably produce human agreement scores greater than 50\%. The negation probes and numbers (beyond 3) fail most frequently. In a 4th experiment, we assess a `grounded diffusion' pipeline that leverages targeted prompt engineering and structured intermediate representations for greater compositional control, but find its performance is judged even worse than that of DALL-E 3 across prompts. To provide further clarity on potential sources of success and failure in these text-to-image systems, we supplement our 4 core experiments with multiple auxiliary analyses and schematic diagrams, directly quantifying, for example, the relationship between the N-gram frequency of relational prompts and the average match to generated images; the success rates for 3 different prompt modification strategies in the rendering of negation prompts; and the scalar variability / ratio dependence (`approximate numeracy') of prompts involving integers. We conclude by discussing the limitations inherent to `grounded' multimodal learning systems whose grounding relies heavily on vector-based semantics (e.g. DALL-E 3), or under-specified syntactical constraints (e.g. `grounded diffusion'), and propose minimal modifications (inspired by development, based in imagery) that could help to bridge the lingering compositional gap between scale and structure.
