Revenge of the Fallen? Recurrent Models Match Transformers at Predicting Human Language Comprehension Metrics

no code implementations30 Apr 2024 James A. Michaelov, Catherine Arnett, Benjamin K. Bergen

Transformers have supplanted Recurrent Neural Networks as the dominant architecture for both natural language processing tasks and, despite criticisms of cognitive implausibility, for modelling the effect of predictability on online human language comprehension.

A Bit of a Problem: Measurement Disparities in Dataset Sizes Across Languages

1 code implementation1 Mar 2024 Catherine Arnett, Tyler A. Chang, Benjamin K. Bergen

We release a tool to obtain byte premiums for any two languages, enabling comparisons of dataset sizes across languages for more equitable multilingual model development and data practices.

Structural Priming Demonstrates Abstract Grammatical Representations in Multilingual Language Models

no code implementations15 Nov 2023 James A. Michaelov, Catherine Arnett, Tyler A. Chang, Benjamin K. Bergen

We measure crosslingual structural priming in large language models, comparing model behavior to human experimental results from eight crosslingual experiments covering six languages, and four monolingual structural priming experiments in three non-English languages.

When Is Multilinguality a Curse? Language Modeling for 250 High- and Low-Resource Languages

1 code implementation15 Nov 2023 Tyler A. Chang, Catherine Arnett, Zhuowen Tu, Benjamin K. Bergen

However, concrete evidence for the effects of multilinguality on language modeling performance in individual languages remains scarce.

Crosslingual Structural Priming and the Pre-Training Dynamics of Bilingual Language Models

no code implementations11 Oct 2023 Catherine Arnett, Tyler A. Chang, James A. Michaelov, Benjamin K. Bergen

Do multilingual language models share abstract grammatical representations across languages, and if so, when do these develop?
