Can transformer be too compositional? analysing idiom processing in neural machine translation
Unlike literal expressions, idioms' meanings do not directly follow from their parts, posing a
challenge for neural machine translation (NMT). NMT models are often unable to translate …

Idiomatic expression identification using semantic compatibility
Idiomatic expressions are an integral part of natural language and constantly being added to
a language. Owing to their non-compositionality and their ability to take on a figurative or …

Does BERT understand idioms? A probing-based empirical study of BERT encodings of idioms
M Tan, J Jiang - 2021 - ink.library.smu.edu.sg
Understanding idioms is important in NLP. In this paper, we study to what extent pre-trained
BERT model can encode the meaning of a potentially idiomatic expression (PIE) in a certain …

Contextualized embeddings encode monolingual and cross-lingual knowledge of idiomaticity
Potentially idiomatic expressions (PIEs) are ambiguous between non-compositional
idiomatic interpretations and transparent literal interpretations. For example,“hit the road” …

Leveraging three types of embeddings from masked language models in idiom token classification
Many linguistic expressions have idiomatic and literal interpretations, and the automatic
distinction of these two interpretations has been studied for decades. Recent research has …
