Toward Compositional Behavior in Neural Models: A Survey of Current Views

K McCurdy, P Soulos, P Smolensky… - Proceedings of the …, 2024 - aclanthology.org
Compositionality is a core property of natural language, and compositional behavior (CB) is
a crucial goal for modern NLP systems. The research literature, however, includes …

Inductive bias is in the eye of the beholder

M Wilson, R Frank - 2023 - par.nsf.gov
Due to the finite nature of any evidence used in learning, systematic generalization is
crucially reliant on the presence of inductive bias ( Mitchell, 1980). We examine inductive …

Strengthening structural inductive biases by pre-training to perform syntactic transformations

M Lindemann, A Koller, I Titov - arxiv preprint arxiv:2407.04543, 2024 - arxiv.org
Models need appropriate inductive biases to effectively learn from small amounts of data
and generalize systematically outside of the training distribution. While Transformers are …

LIEDER: Linguistically-Informed Evaluation for Discourse Entity Recognition

X Zhu, R Frank - arxiv preprint arxiv:2403.06301, 2024 - arxiv.org
Discourse Entity (DE) recognition is the task of identifying novel and known entities
introduced within a text. While previous work has found that large language models have …

Evaluating Structural Generalization in Neural Machine Translation

R Kumon, D Matsuoka, H Yanaka - arxiv preprint arxiv:2406.13363, 2024 - arxiv.org

Predicting generalization performance with correctness discriminators

Y Yao, A Koller - arxiv preprint arxiv:2311.09422, 2023 - arxiv.org
The ability to predict an NLP model's accuracy on unseen, potentially out-of-distribution data
is a prerequisite for trustworthiness. We present a novel model that establishes upper and …

Study of the abstraction capabilities of neural language models

B Li - 2023 - theses.hal.science
Traditional linguistic theories have long posited that human language competence is
founded on innate structural properties and symbolic representations. However, Transformer …
