(V)LMs generalize beyond surface co-occurrence: Evidence from cross-modal number agreement
Zach Studdiford, Kanishka Misra
Language models learn about grammatical number primarily from co-occurrence, and show frequency effects as a result---sometimes taken to indicate that they do not learn abstract ``…
Language Models Learn Constructional Semantics, Not To Mention Syntax: Investigating LM Understanding of Paired-Focus Constructions
Wesley Scivetti, Ethan Wilcox, Nathan Schneider +2
Grasping the semantics of rare constructions (form-meaning pairings) has been shown to be a challenging problem that has currently only been solved by the largest LLMs. It remains…
Cross-Modal Taxonomic Generalization in (Vision-) Language Models
Tianyang Xu, Marcelo Sandoval-Castaneda, Karen Livescu +2
What is the interplay between semantic representations learned by language models (LM) from surface form alone to those learned from more grounded evidence? We study this question…
Targeted Linguistic Analysis of Sign Language Models with Minimal Translation Pairs
Serpil Karabüklü, Kanishka Misra, Shester Gueuwou +3
Models of sign language have historically lagged behind those for spoken language (text and speech). Recent work has greatly improved their performance on tasks like sign language…
