The Better Your Syntax, the Better Your Semantics? Probing Pretrained Language Models for the English Comparative Correlative
Leonie Weissweiler, Valentin Hofmann, Abdullatif Köksal +1
Construction Grammar (CxG) is a paradigm from cognitive linguistics emphasising the connection between syntax and semantics. Rather than rules that operate on lexical items, it pos…
CaMEL: Case Marker Extraction without Labels
Leonie Weissweiler, Valentin Hofmann, Masoud Jalili Sabet +1
We introduce CaMEL (Case Marker Extraction without Labels), a novel and challenging task in computational morphology that is especially relevant for low-resource languages. We prop…
Superbizarre Is Not Superb: Derivational Morphology Improves BERT's Interpretation of Complex Words
Valentin Hofmann, Janet B. Pierrehumbert, Hinrich Schütze
How does the input segmentation of pretrained language models (PLMs) affect their interpretations of complex words? We present the first study investigating this question, taking B…
DagoBERT: Generating Derivational Morphology with a Pretrained Language Model
Valentin Hofmann, Janet B. Pierrehumbert, Hinrich Schütze
Can pretrained language models (PLMs) generate derivationally complex words? We present the first study investigating this question, taking BERT as the example PLM. We examine BERT…
