Can Peanuts Fall in Love with Distributional Semantics?
James A. Michaelov, Seana Coulson, Benjamin K. Bergen
Context changes expectations about upcoming words - following a story involving an anthropomorphic peanut, comprehenders expect the sentence the peanut was in love more than the pe…
So Cloze yet so Far: N400 Amplitude is Better Predicted by Distributional Information than Human Predictability Judgements
James A. Michaelov, Seana Coulson, Benjamin K. Bergen
More predictable words are easier to process - they are read faster and elicit smaller neural signals associated with processing difficulty, most notably, the N400 component of the…
Different kinds of cognitive plausibility: why are transformers better than RNNs at predicting N400 amplitude?
James A. Michaelov, Megan D. Bardolph, Seana Coulson +1
Despite being designed for performance rather than cognitive plausibility, transformer language models have been found to be better at predicting metrics used to assess human langu…
