Language models and brains align due to more than next-word prediction and word-level information (2024.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Pretrained language models have been shown to significantly predict brain recordings of people comprehending language. |
| Approach: | They propose to use two perturbations to design contrasts that control for different types of information. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model is largely agnostic about the exact linguistic information contained in the conceptual quantities "word-level information" and "multi-word information". |
