Quantifying Compositionality of Classic and State-of-the-Art Embeddings (2025.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Static word embeddings make strong claims about compositionality, but the SOTA generative models go too far in the other direction. |
| Approach: | a new study evaluates the compositionality of word embeddings by canonical correlation analysis . strong compositional signals are observed in later training stages across data modalities . |
| Outcome: | a new evaluation of compositional models shows that they exploit access meanings when justified . strong compositional signals are observed in later training stages and in deeper layers of the transformer-based model before a decline at the top layer. |
