Bridging Compositional and Distributional Semantics: A Survey on Latent Semantic Geometry via AutoEncoder
Yingji Zhang, Danilo S. Carvalho, André Freitas
Integrating compositional and symbolic properties into current distributional semantic spaces can enhance the interpretability, controllability, compositionality, and generalisatio…

Learning to Disentangle Latent Reasoning Rules with Language VAEs: A Systematic Study
Yingji Zhang, Marco Valentino, Danilo S. Carvalho +1
Incorporating explicit reasoning rules within the latent space of language models (LMs) offers a promising pathway to enhance generalisation, interpretability, and controllability.…

LangVAE and LangSpace: Building and Probing for Language Model VAEs
Danilo S. Carvalho, Yingji Zhang, Harriet Unsworth +1
We present LangVAE, a novel framework for modular construction of variational autoencoders (VAEs) on top of pre-trained large language models (LLMs). Such language model VAEs can e…
