From sunblock to softblock: Analyzing the correlates of neology in published writing and on social media
Maria Ryskina, Matthew R. Gormley, Kyle Mahowald +3
Living languages are shaped by a host of conflicting internal and external evolutionary pressures. While some of these pressures are universal across languages and cultures, others…
Transformer-Enabled Diachronic Analysis of Vedic Sanskrit: Neural Methods for Quantifying Types of Language Change
Ananth Hariharan, David Mortensen
This study demonstrates how hybrid neural-symbolic methods can yield significant new insights into the evolution of a morphologically rich, low-resource language. We challenge the…
The Translation Barrier Hypothesis: Multilingual Generation with Large Language Models Suffers from Implicit Translation Failure
Niyati Bafna, Tianjian Li, Kenton Murray +4
Multilingual generation with large language models (LLMs) is often of poor quality for mid- to low-resource languages, but the causes for this are not well-understood. We first dem…
Programming by Examples Meets Historical Linguistics: A Large Language Model Based Approach to Sound Law Induction
Atharva Naik, Darsh Agrawal, Hong Sng +8
Historical linguists have long written "programs" that convert reconstructed words in an ancestor language into their attested descendants via ordered string rewrite functions (cal…
Calibrated Seq2seq Models for Efficient and Generalizable Ultra-fine Entity Typing
Yanlin Feng, Adithya Pratapa, David R Mortensen
Ultra-fine entity typing plays a crucial role in information extraction by predicting fine-grained semantic types for entity mentions in text. However, this task poses significant…
