- **Year**: 2022
- **Summary**: This paper details LaMDA, a large language model specialized for dialogue. It highlights the model's ability to handle nuanced and open-ended conversations. While not exclusively about emotion, it demonstrates that modern LLMs have a significant degree of implicit emotional intelligence learned from vast text data, and it discusses the importance of tuning for safety, grounding, and overall quality.
