A Method for Studying Semantic Construal in Grammatical Constructions with Interpretable Contextual Embedding Spaces (2023.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing paradigms for the linguistically oriented exploration of large neural language models include treating the model as a linguistic test subject by measuring output on test sentences and building probing classifiers on top of embeddings to test whether the embeddables are sensitive to certain properties like dependency structure. |
| Approach: | They project contextual embeddings into interpretable semantic spaces, each defined by a different set of psycholinguistic feature norms. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can probe the distributional meaning of syntactic constructions at a templatic level, abstracted away from specific lexemes. |
