BERT Shows Garden Path Effects (2023.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Garden path sentences are sentences that readers incorrectly parse, requiring partial or total re-analysis of the sentence structure. |
| Approach: | They assess transformer language models which have been fine-tuned on a question-answering task and evaluate their performance on comprehension questions based on garden path and control sentences. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models have low performance in certain instances of question answering based on garden path contexts, and incorrectly assign semantic roles aligning for the most part with human performance. |
