Measuring Morphological Fusion Using Partial Information Decomposition (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | agglutinative and fusional languages have a systematic relationship between meaning and form, but are less systematic when it comes to morphological relations. |
| Approach: | They propose a mathematically precise way of characterizing morphological systems using partial information decomposition. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework decomposes mutual information into three components: unique, redundant, and synergistic information. |
Linguistic Dependencies and Statistical Dependence (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies show that pairs of words that occur together are likely to stand in a linguistic dependency. |
| Approach: | They propose to use large pretrained language models to compute contextualized estimates of the pointwise mutual information between words (CPMI) |
| Outcome: | The proposed model maximizes CPMI and achieves an unlabelled undirected attachment score of 0.5 . |
