The study explores how neural agents develop dependency length minimization (DLM) in artificial languages using a recurrent neural network framework. By manipulating processing constraints such as listening noise, speaker capacity, and incremental sentence processing, the researchers find that DLM emerges only under incremental processing pressure, while other factors produce varied word‑order preferences. These results suggest that human cognitive processing limits may influence the emergence of DLM in language.

Emergent Abilities in Large Language Models: A Survey reviews how scaling LLMs leads to previously unseen capabilities such as advanced reasoning, in-context learning, coding, and problem-solving. The paper critically examines definitions, inconsistencies, and the conditions that foster these abilities, including scaling laws, task complexity, pre‑training loss, quantization, and prompting strategies. It also discusses the extension to Large Reasoning Models and highlights safety concerns like deception, manipulation, and reward hacking, calling for improved evaluation and governance.
