Autoregressive Structured Prediction with Language Models
Tianyu Liu, Yuchen Jiang, Nicholas Monath +2
Recent years have seen a paradigm shift in NLP towards using pretrained language models ({PLM}) for a wide range of tasks. However, there are many difficult design decisions to rep…
Investigating the Role of Centering Theory in the Context of Neural Coreference Resolution Systems
Yuchen Eleanor Jiang, Ryan Cotterell, Mrinmaya Sachan
Centering theory (CT; Grosz et al., 1995) provides a linguistic analysis of the structure of discourse. According to the theory, local coherence of discourse arises from the manner…
Algorithms for Weighted Pushdown Automata
Alexandra Butoi, Brian DuSell, Tim Vieira +2
Weighted pushdown automata (WPDAs) are at the core of many natural language processing tasks, like syntax-based statistical machine translation and transition-based dependency pars…
Probing via Prompting
Jiaoda Li, Ryan Cotterell, Mrinmaya Sachan
Probing is a popular method to discern what linguistic information is contained in the representations of pre-trained language models. However, the mechanism of selecting the probe…
Exact Paired-Permutation Testing for Structured Test Statistics
Ran Zmigrod, Tim Vieira, Ryan Cotterell
Significance testing -- especially the paired-permutation test -- has played a vital role in developing NLP systems to provide confidence that the difference in performance between…
A Structured Span Selector
Tianyu Liu, Yuchen Eleanor Jiang, Ryan Cotterell +1
Many natural language processing tasks, e.g., coreference resolution and semantic role labeling, require selecting text spans and making decisions about them. A typical approach to…
