<abstract>This paper explores the concept of solving implicature in Natural Language Processing (NLP), highlighting its significance in understanding indirect communication. Drawing on foundational theories by Austin, Searle, and Grice, we discuss how implicature extends beyond literal language to convey nuanced meanings. We review existing datasets, including the Pragmatic Understanding Benchmark (PUB), that assess models’ capabilities in recognizing and interpreting implicatures. Despite recent advances in large language models (LLMs), challenges remain in effectively processing implicature due to limitations in training data and the complexities of contextual interpretation.
