Attention Understands Semantic Relations (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Present-day monopoly of foundation language models in most tasks forces researchers and practitioners to rely on popular large models without genuinely understanding the models' behaviour. |
| Approach: | They propose a probing pipeline to study the representedness of semantic relations in transformer language models and propose 'attention mechanisms' that focus on syntactic relational information and semantic one. |
| Outcome: | The proposed pipeline shows that attention scores are expressive as output activations on this task, despite their lesser ability to represent surface cues. |
