result Evidence of a fine-grained geometric representation of word senses and syntactic representations.

ContextBench benchmarks methods for generating linguistically fluent inputs that activate specific latent features in language models.

problem Identifying inputs that trigger specific behaviours or latent features in language models.
method Context modification and benchmarking methods like Evolutionary Prompt Optimisation (EPO) with LLM-assistance and diffusion model inpainting.
result Enhanced methods achieve state-of-the-art performance in balancing elicitation effectiveness and fluency.

We study the problem of interpreting trained classification models in the setting of linguistic data sets. Leveraging a parse tree, we propose to assign least-squares based importance scores to each word of an instance by exploiting syntactic constituency structure. We establish an axiomatic characterization of these i…

Convolutional neural networks have been successfully applied to various NLP tasks. However, it is not obvious whether they model different linguistic patterns such as negation, intensification, and clause compositionality to help the decision-making process. In this paper, we apply visualization techniques to observe h…

We define general linguistic intelligence as the ability to reuse previously acquired knowledge about a language's lexicon, syntax, semantics, and pragmatic conventions to adapt to new tasks quickly. Using this definition, we analyze state-of-the-art natural language understanding models and conduct an extensive empiri…

Investigates neural TTS systems for Japanese and English.

problem Improving neural TTS systems for high-quality speech synthesis.
method Comparative study of neural sequence-to-sequence TTS vs. DNN pipeline TTS, varying model architecture, parameter size, and language.
result A neural sequence-to-sequence TTS system requires sufficient model parameters and a powerful encoder for high-quality speech synthesis.

Qwant Research improves clinical case matching and information retrieval.

problem Matching and retrieving relevant clinical cases and discussions.
method Approach based on language models and preprocessings, information extraction system using neural networks and linguistic analysis.
result Very encouraging results in information extraction accuracy.

This paper studies users' perception regarding a controversial product, namely self-driving (autonomous) cars. To find people's opinion regarding this new technology, we used an annotated Twitter dataset, and extracted the topics in positive and negative tweets using an unsupervised, probabilistic model known as topic …

Analysts use vague language in reports to convey useful information about future payoffs.

problem Lack of precise numerical forecasts in analyst reports.
method Empirical analysis of analyst reports to assess the predictive power of linguistic tone.
result The textual tone of analyst reports has predictive power for forecast errors and subsequent revisions, especially when language is vague and uncertainty is high.

Study shows mutual information can reward structure learning agents without expert systems.

problem Designing rewards for structure learning agents in natural language environments.
method Revisited Information Theory of unsupervised induction of phrase-structure grammars, using random sets of linguistic samples.
result Empirical evidence that simulated semantic structures can be distinguished from random ones by mutual information among their constituents.

OT domain adaptation improves aphasia detection across languages.

problem Detecting aphasia in low-resource languages with limited data.
method Utilized OT domain adaptation to map linguistic features across multiple languages.
result OT domain adaptation significantly improved F1 scores for French and Mandarin aphasia detection.
