@glnmario @ucl congratulations 🥳🤩✨💫✨

✨We are affected by the structure of prior context when we process language. The structural priming paradigm has shown that grammatical information plays a vital role in human language processing.

In our ACL-f paper we show that LM predictions are driven by similar factors!

Construction Repetition Reduces Information Rate in Dialogue 🧠🗣️💬 🤗looking forward to working more on this!

[Mario Giulianelli @glnmario]

Our AACL-IJCNLP paper💥Construction Repetition Reduces Information Rate in Dialogue💥 is out!

(with @janiesinclair & @raquel_dmg)

We model repetition of constructions (recurring multi-word units) as an efficient, cost-reducing communication strategy.

[Arabella J Sinclair @janiesinclair]

Exciting that our paper has been accepted 🎉🤗 looking forward to following this up 🤓

Really excited that our TACL paper is out and we have a blog post about it too! Please take a look and if you are interested in the topic get in touch :)

[Jaap Jumelet @JumeletJ]

✨What do language models know about grammar?

In our new TACL paper we approach this question using the Structural Priming paradigm, that has been used to uncover humans' comprehension of abstract syntax.
