Where meaning lives: Layer-wise accessibility of psycholinguistic features in encoder and decoder language models (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies show that transformer language models encode psychologically meaningful aspects of meaning at different depths. |
| Approach: | They conduct a layer-wise probing study of 58 psycholinguistic features across 10 transformer models . they find that apparent localization of meaning is method-dependent . |
| Outcome: | The results show that where meaning “lives” in transformer models reflects methodological choices and architectural constraints. |
