Thermo-viscous feedback in heat transport through fracture-matrix systems with finite thermal capacity
Alessandro Lenci
In geothermal systems, injected fluid flows along preferential fracture pathways and exchanges heat with matrix blocks. Reduced models often neglect temperature-dependent viscosity…
Agentività e telicità in GilBERTo: implicazioni cognitive
Agnese Lombardi, Alessandro Lenci
The goal of this study is to investigate whether a Transformer-based neural language model infers lexical semantics and use this information for the completion of morphosyntactic p…
Understanding Natural Language Understanding Systems. A Critical Analysis
Alessandro Lenci
The development of machines that «talk like us», also known as Natural Language Understanding (NLU) systems, is the Holy Grail of Artificial Intelligence (AI), since language is th…
Event knowledge in large language models: the gap between the impossible and the unlikely
Carina Kauf, Anna A. Ivanova, Giulia Rambelli +5
Word co-occurrence patterns in language corpora contain a surprising amount of conceptual knowledge. Large language models (LLMs), trained to predict words in context, leverage the…
Word Order Matters when you Increase Masking
Karim Lasri, Alessandro Lenci, Thierry Poibeau
Word order, an essential property of natural languages, is injected in Transformer-based neural language models using position encoding. However, recent experiments have shown that…
Subject Verb Agreement Error Patterns in Meaningless Sentences: Humans vs. BERT
Karim Lasri, Olga Seminck, Alessandro Lenci +1
Both humans and neural language models are able to perform subject-verb number agreement (SVA). In principle, semantics shouldn't interfere with this task, which only requires synt…
