| Challenge: | affixoids are morphemes in between affids and free stems that have been associated with increased productivity and a bleached semantics but not empirically validated. |
| Approach: | They propose to use affixoids as morphemes in between affids and stems to test their classification in a subset of German words that includes many hapaxes. |
| Outcome: | The proposed morpheme can be classed as affixoid or non-affixoids with a best F1 score of 74% on a subset of German words that includes many hapaxes . |

Analyzing the Understanding of Morphologically Complex Words in Large Language Models (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Morphologically complex languages are challenging for NLP as a large amount of information is condensed into a single word, unlike in analytical languages where separate words make it easier to derive meaning. |
| Approach: | They use a Large Language Model to analyse compositional word formation and derivation to find ill-formed word forms. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is capable of solving most tasks except identifying ill-formed word forms. |
To Split or Not to Split: Composing Compounds in Contextual Vector Spaces (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Contextual word embedding models rely on sub-word tokenization to represent single orthographic words but are often suboptimal in under-resourced contexts. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a masked language modelling task to evaluate the model's performance . they use re-trained tokenizers to pre-split compounds into constituents . |
| Outcome: | The proposed models improve on the masked language modelling task and compositionality prediction by pre-splitting compounds into constituents. |
Revisiting subword tokenization: A case study on affixal negation in large language models (2024.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Negation is central to language understanding but is not properly captured by modern NLP methods. |
| Approach: | They propose to use subword tokenization methods to detect negation in large language models . they find that models can reliably recognize negation, despite mismatches in tokenization accuracy . |
| Outcome: | The proposed models can detect negation in English using subword tokenization methods despite some mismatches in tokenization accuracy and negation detection performance. |

| Approach: | They explore word embedding stability in a wide range of languages to gain insight into their stability. |
| Outcome: | The proposed results provide insights into word embedding stability in English and other languages. |
