| Challenge: | a resource of German light verb constructions is presented for graphical business process models . the language in BPM is worth to be studied for other purposes, authors say . |
| Approach: | They present a resource of German light verb constructions extracted from business process models . they use textual labels to analyze the models and to infer the meaning of their texts . |
| Outcome: | The proposed resource contains German light verb constructions extracted from business process models . the work is a step towards better automatic analysis of business process model models based on the proposed language . |

| Challenge: | Psych verbs and their properties in multiple languages have ignited discussions among linguists for several decades . Psych-verbs are often considered syntactically deviant, although this has occasionally been called into question . |
| Approach: | They propose to use a large-scale database of more than 10,000 examples for 64 verbs from a newspaper corpus annotated for several syntactic and semantic features relevant for their analysis. |
| Outcome: | The proposed database contains 10,000 examples for 64 verbs from a newspaper corpus and includes syntactic construction, semantic stimulus type, and form of possible stimulus preposition. |

AND does not mean OR: Using Formal Languages to Study Language Models’ Representations (2021.acl-short)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | A current open question in natural language processing is to what extent language models are able to capture the meaning of language. |
| Approach: | They propose to simulate a distributional language model’s ability to differentiate logical symbols using motivated constraints and motivated constraints. |
| Outcome: | The results show that the proposed models are unable to differentiate meaningfully different symbols, suggesting a limitation to the types of semantic signals that current models are capable of exploiting. |
