Detecting Syntactic Change Using a Neural Part-of-Speech Tagger
William Merrill, Gigi Felice Stark, Robert Frank
We train a diachronic long short-term memory (LSTM) part-of-speech tagger on a large corpus of American English from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. We analyze the tagger's abi…

Finding Syntactic Representations in Neural Stacks
William Merrill, Lenny Khazan, Noah Amsel +3
Neural network architectures have been augmented with differentiable stacks in order to introduce a bias toward learning hierarchy-sensitive regularities. It has, however, proven d…

Sequential Neural Networks as Automata
William Merrill
This work attempts to explain the types of computation that neural networks can perform by relating them to automata. We first define what it means for a real-time network with bou…
