Understanding Syntactic Generalization in Structure-inducing Language Models

David Arps, Hassan Sajjad, Laura Kallmeyer

Structure-inducing Language Models (SiLM) are trained on a self-supervised language modeling task, and induce a hierarchical sentence representation as a byproduct when processing…

Seeing Syntax: Uncovering Syntactic Learning Limitations in Vision-Language Models

Sri Harsha Dumpala, David Arps, Sageev Oore +2

Vision-language models (VLMs), serve as foundation models for multi-modal applications such as image captioning and text-to-image generation. Recent studies have highlighted limita…

Dialogue Ontology Relation Extraction via Constrained Chain-of-Thought Decoding

Renato Vukovic, David Arps, Carel van Niekerk +4

State-of-the-art task-oriented dialogue systems typically rely on task-specific ontologies for fulfilling user queries. The majority of task-oriented dialogue data, such as custome…

Multilingual Nonce Dependency Treebanks: Understanding how Language Models represent and process syntactic structure

David Arps, Laura Kallmeyer, Younes Samih +1

We introduce SPUD (Semantically Perturbed Universal Dependencies), a framework for creating nonce treebanks for the multilingual Universal Dependencies (UD) corpora. SPUD data sati…

Increasing The Performance of Cognitively Inspired Data-Efficient Language Models via Implicit Structure Building

Omar Momen, David Arps, Laura Kallmeyer

In this paper, we describe our submission to the BabyLM Challenge 2023 shared task on data-efficient language model (LM) pretraining (Warstadt et al., 2023). We train transformer-b…

Probing for Constituency Structure in Neural Language Models

David Arps, Younes Samih, Laura Kallmeyer +1

In this paper, we investigate to which extent contextual neural language models (LMs) implicitly learn syntactic structure. More concretely, we focus on constituent structure as re…
