When Can Transformers Ground and Compose: Insights from Compositional Generalization Benchmarks

EMNLP 2022main

Humans can reason compositionally whilst grounding language utterances to the real world. Recent benchmarks like ReaSCAN (Wu et al., 2021) use navigation tasks grounded in a grid world to assess whether neural models exhibit similar capabilities. In this work, we present a simple transformer-based m…
