UCCA's Foundational Layer: Annotation Guidelines v2.1
Omri Abend, Nathan Schneider, Dotan Dvir +2
This is the annotation manual for Universal Conceptual Cognitive Annotation (UCCA; Abend and Rappoport, 2013), specifically the Foundational Layer. UCCA is a graph-based semantic a…
Comparison by Conversion: Reverse-Engineering UCCA from Syntax and Lexical Semantics
Daniel Hershcovich, Nathan Schneider, Dotan Dvir +3
Building robust natural language understanding systems will require a clear characterization of whether and how various linguistic meaning representations complement each other. To…
Classifying Syntactic Errors in Learner Language
Leshem Choshen, Dmitry Nikolaev, Yevgeni Berzak +1
We present a method for classifying syntactic errors in learner language, namely errors whose correction alters the morphosyntactic structure of a sentence. The methodology builds…
PMI-Masking: Principled masking of correlated spans
Yoav Levine, Barak Lenz, Opher Lieber +4
Masking tokens uniformly at random constitutes a common flaw in the pretraining of Masked Language Models (MLMs) such as BERT. We show that such uniform masking allows an MLM to mi…
Fine-Grained Analysis of Cross-Linguistic Syntactic Divergences
Dmitry Nikolaev, Ofir Arviv, Taelin Karidi +4
The patterns in which the syntax of different languages converges and diverges are often used to inform work on cross-lingual transfer. Nevertheless, little empirical work has been…
Language (Re)modelling: Towards Embodied Language Understanding
Ronen Tamari, Chen Shani, Tom Hope +3
While natural language understanding (NLU) is advancing rapidly, today's technology differs from human-like language understanding in fundamental ways, notably in its inferior effi…
