Exploring Linguistic Probes for Morphological Inflection (2023.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | morphological inflection models typically employ language-independent data splitting algorithms. |
| Approach: | They propose language-specific probes to test aspects of morphological generalization . they use three morphology-distinct languages to test their generalization abilities . |
| Outcome: | The proposed language-specific probes are used to test morphological generalization abilities on three distinct languages. |
Lemmas Matter, But Not Like That: Predictors of Lemma-Based Generalization in Morphological Inflection (2025.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Recent work suggests that lemma overlap drives model performance on morphological inflection tasks, but the impact of lemmm overlap is debated. |
| Approach: | They propose a novel algorithm to investigate predictors of accuracy on seen and unseen lemmas by combining the number of lema in train with the number in train. |
| Outcome: | The proposed algorithm shows that the number of lemmas in train has a stronger effect on accuracy on unseen than seen lemmes. |
