Testing the Predictions of Surprisal Theory in 11 Languages
Ethan Gotlieb Wilcox, Tiago Pimentel, Clara Meister +2
A fundamental result in psycholinguistics is that less predictable words take a longer time to process. One theoretical explanation for this finding is Surprisal Theory (Hale, 2001…
Probing self-supervised speech models for phonetic and phonemic information: a case study in aspiration
Kinan Martin, Jon Gauthier, Canaan Breiss +1
Textless self-supervised speech models have grown in capabilities in recent years, but the nature of the linguistic information they encode has not yet been thoroughly examined. We…
The neural dynamics of auditory word recognition and integration
Jon Gauthier, Roger Levy
Listeners recognize and integrate words in rapid and noisy everyday speech by combining expectations about upcoming content with incremental sensory evidence. We present a computat…
Prompting is not a substitute for probability measurements in large language models
Jennifer Hu, Roger Levy
Prompting is now a dominant method for evaluating the linguistic knowledge of large language models (LLMs). While other methods directly read out models' probability distributions…
Expectations over Unspoken Alternatives Predict Pragmatic Inferences
Jennifer Hu, Roger Levy, Judith Degen +1
Scalar inferences (SI) are a signature example of how humans interpret language based on unspoken alternatives. While empirical studies have demonstrated that human SI rates are hi…
