The gap between humans and language models
As the interest in language models (LMs) gains traction in academia, there has been an impulse to compare LMs with children— the idea seems to be that if these models perform well, perhaps this reveals something about the acquisition process. The problem with this line of reasoning is that it is often at odds with the nature of the input, as LMs are typically trained on billions of words extracted from written sources. In order to transcend the d…
What language models can tell us about learning adjectives
It has been argued that language models (LMs) inform our knowledge of language acquisition. While LMs are claimed to replicate aspects of grammatical knowledge, it remains unclear how this translates to acquisition directly. We ask if a language model trained specifically on child-directed speech (CDS) is able to capture grammatical knowledge of adjectives. Ultimately, our results reveal that what the model is “learning” is how adjectives are dis…
