Mechanisms vs. Outcomes: Probing for Syntax Fails to Explain Performance on Targeted Syntactic Evaluations (2025.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies have not evaluated whether probing accuracy predicts syntactic outcomes. |
| Approach: | They evaluate 32 open-weight transformer models and find that probing fails to predict outcomes of targeted syntax evaluations across English linguistic phenomena. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model does not predict syntactic outcomes on English linguistic phenomena. |
