Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a growing literature that probes neural language models to assess their latent acquisition of grammatical knowledge has not investigated their acquisition of discourse modeling ability. |
| Approach: | They draw on a psycholinguistic literature that has established how different contexts affect referential biases concerning who is likely to be referred to next. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models do not resemble human language users, the authors show . their models capture the linguistic knowledge required to perform discourse modeling . |
