Papers with incremental sentence processing
CCG Parsing Algorithm with Incremental Tree Rotation (N19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) is a mildly context sensitive grammar formalism that excels in incremental sentence processing. |
| Approach: | They propose a new incremental parsing algorithm that uses a syntactic approach . it uses right-branching constituent structures and optional constituents that adjoin on the right . |
| Outcome: | The proposed algorithm can cover the whole CCGbank with greater incrementality and accuracy than previous proposals. |
Incremental Sentence Processing Mechanisms in Autoregressive Transformer Language Models (2025.naacl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a recent study has found LMs focus on processing syntactic relations, but not structural information. |
| Approach: | They examine the mechanisms underlying garden path sentence processing in LMs . they use sparse autoencoders to identify interpretable features that determine which continuation . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model lacks syntactic features and shallow heuristics to perform incremental sentence processing. |
Endowing Neural Language Learners with Human-like Biases: A Case Study on Dependency Length Minimization (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Comparing the behavior of models with that of human learners can reveal which aspects affect the emergence of this preference. |
| Approach: | They propose to add three factors to the standard neural-agent language learning and communication framework to make the simulation more realistic. |
| Outcome: | The proposed conditions can contribute to a small but significant learning advantage for listeners of verb-initial languages. |
