Reanalyzing L2 Preposition Learning with Bayesian Mixed Effects and a Pretrained Language Model

ACL 2023long

We use both Bayesian and neural models to dissect a data set of Chinese learners’ pre- and post-interventional responses to two tests measuring their understanding of English prepositions. The results mostly replicate previous findings from frequentist analyses and newly reveal crucial interactions…

Linguistic Frameworks Go Toe-to-Toe at Neuro-Symbolic Language Modeling

NAACL 2022long

We examine the extent to which, in principle, different syntactic and semantic graph representations can complement and improve neural language modeling. Specifically, by conditioning on a subgraph encapsulating the locally relevant sentence history, can a model make better next-word predictions tha…

Comparison by Conversion: Reverse-Engineering UCCA from Syntax and Lexical Semantics

COLING 2020main

Building robust natural language understanding systems will require a clear characterization of whether and how various linguistic meaning representations complement each other. To perform a systematic comparative analysis, we evaluate the mapping between meaning representations from different frame…
