Linearly Mapping from Image to Text Space

Jack Merullo, Louis Castricato, Carsten Eickhoff +1

The extent to which text-only language models (LMs) learn to represent features of the non-linguistic world is an open question. Prior work has shown that pretrained LMs can be tau…

Towards a Formal Model of Narratives

Louis Castricato, Stella Biderman, Rogelio E. Cardona-Rivera +1

In this paper, we propose the beginnings of a formal framework for modeling narrative \textit{qua} narrative. Our framework affords the ability to discuss key qualities of stories…
