The Reversal Curse: LLMs trained on "A is B" fail to learn "B is A"

Research on arXiv reveals the 'Reversal Curse'—a quirk in how large language models learn. When trained on statements like 'A is B,' they often fail to learn the reverse: 'B is A.' This reveals that language models may learn associations directionally rather than bidirectionally, exposing a fundamental asymmetry in how they internalize knowledge.
