Cross-Linguistic Syntactic Evaluation of Word Prediction Models
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
To investigate how these models' ability to learn syntax varies by language, we introduce CLAMS (Cross-Linguistic Assessment of Models on Syntax), a syntactic evaluation suite for monolingual and multilingual ...
A range of studies have concluded that neural word prediction models can distinguish grammatical from ungrammatical sentences with high accuracy. ...

Does BERT agree? Evaluating knowledge of structure dependence through agreement relations
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
Learning representations that accurately model semantics is an important goal of natural language processing research. Many semantic phenomena depend on syntactic structure. ...
We evaluate BERT's sensitivity to four types of structure-dependent agreement relations in a new semi-automatically curated dataset across 26 languages. ...
Thus, evaluating a model's ability to capture agreement relations is also an evaluation of its ability to capture syntactic structure. ...

Finding Universal Grammatical Relations in Multilingual BERT
[article]
2020
arXiv
pre-print
Recent work has found evidence that Multilingual BERT (mBERT), a transformer-based multilingual masked language model, is capable of zero-shot cross-lingual transfer, suggesting that some aspects of its ...
This evidence suggests that even without explicit supervision, multilingual masked language models learn certain linguistic universals. ...
By evaluating Spearman correlation between all pairs of words, one directly evaluates the extent to which the ordering of words j by distance to each word i is correctly predicted, a key notion of the ...

AzterTest: Open source linguistic and stylistic analysis tool
2020
Revista de Procesamiento de Lenguaje Natural (SEPLN)
In this Section we present an extrinsic evaluation of AzterTest in a readability assessment scenario for English texts. ...
In this evaluation, we have tested various classifiers to detect three reading levels (elementary, intermediate, advanced) based on Coh-Metrix and AzterTest's output on an open licensed corpora. ...
For example, the raw number of words is usually a predictive feature, but it depends on text length and not on its linguistic characteristics. ...

Understanding Cross-Lingual Syntactic Transfer in Multilingual Recurrent Neural Networks
[article]
2021
arXiv
pre-print
In this paper we dissect different forms of cross-lingual transfer and look for its most determining factors, using a variety of models and probing tasks. ...
But what kind of knowledge is really shared among languages within these models? ...
In contrast to the current mainstream focus on BERT-like models (Rogers et al., 2020) , we evaluate more classical LSTM-based models trained for next word prediction or translation over a moderate number ...

Robust Training under Linguistic Adversity
2017
Proceedings of the 15th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Volume 2, Short Papers
We consider several flavours of linguistically plausible corruption, include lexical semantic and syntactic methods. ...
Empirically, we evaluate our method with a convolutional neural model across a range of sentiment analysis datasets. ...
We focus on the generation of two classes of text noise: (1) syntactic noise; and (2) semantic noise. 2 Syntactic Noise The first class of linguistic noise is syntactic, focusing on the syntactic struc-ture ...

Predicting Foreign Language Usage from English-Only Social Media Posts
2018
Proceedings of the 2018 Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics: Human Language Technologies, Volume 2 (Short Papers)
We contrast the predictive power of the state-of-theart machine learning models trained on lexical, syntactic, and stylistic signals with neural network models learned from word, character and byte representations ...
Finally, by analyzing cross-lingual transferthe influence of non-English languages on various levels of linguistic performance in English, we present novel findings on stylistic and syntactic variations ...
For that we first develop linguistic models to test our hypothesis, and then evaluate syntactic and stylistic similarities across speakers of non-English languages using the English portion of their multilingual ...

Bridging between Cognitive Processing Signals and Linguistic Features via a Unified Attentional Network
[article]
2022

Specifically, we present a unified attentional framework that is composed of embedding, attention, encoding and predicting layers to selectively map cognitive processing signals to linguistic features. ...
We define the mapping procedure as a bridging task and develop 12 bridging tasks for lexical, syntactic and semantic features. ...

Machine Learning Approach to Evaluate MultiLingual Summaries
2017
Proceedings of the MultiLing 2017 Workshop on Summarization and Summary Evaluation Across Source Types and Genres
This method relies on machine learning approach which operates by combining multiple features to build models that predict the human score (overall responsiveness) of a new summary. ...
We have experimented our method in summary level evaluation where we evaluate the quality of each text summary separately. ...
The main steps we plan to take in our future works, are the construction of predictive models for more languages and the addition of other types of features such as entities based features, part-ofspeech ...

We investigate when these models acquire their in-language and cross-lingual abilities by probing checkpoints taken from throughout XLM-R pretraining, using a suite of linguistic tasks. ...
In contrast, when the model learns to transfer cross-lingually depends on the language pair. ...
Dependency Structure We evaluate syntactic dependency structure knowledge with two pairwise probing tasks: arc prediction, in which the probe is trained to discriminate between pairs of words that are ...
