Tree Transformer’s Disambiguation Ability of Prepositional Phrase Attachment and Garden Path Effects (2024.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Prepositional phrase attachment ambiguity is structural in nature, while garden path constructions are incremental in nature. |
| Approach: | They pretrain and evaluate an unsupervised Transformer model that induces tree representations internally and compare it to a pretrained supervised BiLSTM model. |
| Outcome: | The Tree Transformer model induces tree representations internally, but its parsing ability is inferior to the supervised BiLSTM model, and it is not as sensitive to lexical cues as other large LSTM models. |
